These expert craftspeople draw on decades of knowledge as they graduate the plates with precision and artfully tune them to produce these fine violas. The traditional oil varnish is carefully hand applied so as not to hinder the instrument in any way, and together these processes result in a rich, well-rounded sound audible to the discerning ear.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe fine, straight grained spruce continues to age and so the sound ‘opens up’ the more the instrument is played (and these violas certainly deserve to be played often and well).
