Modern British violin making is rooted in a rigorous educational tradition. Institutions like the Newark School of Violin Making have turned the UK into a global magnet for talent. This has resulted in a community of makers who don't just "copy" the old masters like Stradivari or Guarneri, but seek to understand the underlying physics and soul of their instruments.

An absolutely stunning viola by one of our favourite British makers, Colin Cross. Made with very old seasoned wood, this viola is a true masterpiece in making. It has a beautiful one piece back with elegant antiquing throughout. Due to its small size, it's extremely easy to play and responds very well. It also sounds much more powerful than its size suggests so the sound will have no issues cutting through.
