How long have you been in Utah?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been in Utah for for 27 years, I moved here from Minneapolis in 1995. There were other many local makers to work alongside, and an environment of youthful, energetic creativity. The viola was the first instrument I made here in SLC!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What services does your shop provide, and is there an area that you specialize in?
<\/strong>I provide violins ,violas and cellos.\u2028
I make new instruments, and provide adjustments , bow rehairs and repairs. I have been doing my trade for 30 years and continue to learn each day. I consider myself very lucky to have worked with some of the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been told by many that I have a knack for adjusting and setting up instruments to reach the personal preference of the musician. I am a player myself and grew up in a family of musicians, so my goals is to communicate with my clients about ideas and concepts of sound, and then find the right playability for the individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a particular sound or concept that you are aiming for when you make violas? What do you love about the viola?
<\/strong>The sound and concept of my violas are to provide an instrument that is easy to play and have a character to the sound which both projects and has warmth.
I find the recent model I am making liberating in that I am playing with dimensions and wood choice. The basic model is that of an Amati. After I make my alterations it has deviated into my own personal model. So far it seems to be working quite well.
I love the viola because it can have so many variations in size sound and style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you play music yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I play steel guitar , guitar and fiddle (maybe I will switch to jazz viola). I have been lucky to know so many great musicians locally and nationally. These days I enjoy playing at home with the occasional gig out on the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have hobbies or interests away from music and instruments?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enjoy the mountains, and the wild west. I practice Tai Chi and enjoy casual bike rides. I feel like I need another century to scratch the surface of what this state has to offer. I really appreciate feeling a part of this community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan’s newest viola is almost ready, and it’s going to be amazing! At Viola Day, you’ll be able to hear and play a locally-owned instrument, made from the same striking<\/strong> wood<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
