How long have you been in Utah?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
I first came to Utah in 1987 to attend the Violin Making School of America. I graduated in 1983 then taught at the school for four years before opening a shop near Liberty Park in 1988.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What services does your shop provide, and is there an area that you specialize in?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
I focus on new making of violins, violas and cellos. Mainly violas and cellos.  I am also available for repair work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do you love about the viola,<\/strong> and<\/strong> do you have a particular sound or concept that you are aiming for when you make violas?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
I grew up studying\u00a0 the violin but started playing the viola in college and loved its’ deep, rich sound. When I started making violas here in Utah I built a number of them for David Daltons students at BYU. I learned a lot from those instruments and following the players through the years. What I focus on is building an instrument that is even across the register, speaks quickly, has a wide dynamic range, and colour to the voicing. Can you play pianissimo and still have clarity and be heard? A viola that is just loud, without colour to its voicing, is boring to me. A viola that can stand up to chamber music work must have character!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you play music yourself, and do you have hobbies or interests away from music and instruments?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently I play violin in the Salt Lake  Symphony. Outside of my work I love hiking and mountain biking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carrie will be bringing two beautiful, new instruments to Viola Day, pictured below!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
