In any case, the eventual criticism might not be related to the viola itself, but in artistic choices. On another matter, do you have instruments being played here in Portugal? I'm quite curios to see, and hear one of yours live. Your photos are always absolutely beautiful, so I can only image how can the actual instruments beat that. And I'm sure they do!

christian bayon Posted January 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Montagnana model on varnishing process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban Luthier Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Looks fantastic. Is the small Montagnana model? Like the cut down one that Steven Issrelis plays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christian bayon Posted January 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Yes but I don´t think it was cut down, who says that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban Luthier Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Sorry Christian, 'cut down' is the wrong wording... 'altered slightly' is a better description. John Dilworth in the strad article on Isserelis's Montagnana (June 2005) mentioned the middle bout seems to be original and unaltered but the upper and lower bout edges have been moved inwards slightly along with the purfling. I looked at the poster again and the outline and indeed the whole instrument looks quite attractive. I like the over all size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
