It's not a instrument. It's a work of art ❤

The absolute best video of the hundreds I've seen on making a violin or in this case viola. Talk about hands of gold! For the wonderful people watching this, Kevin was noted by the most famous appraiser of our time and probably the greatest in history, Mr. Jacques Francais.A man that only looked at rare, old,multi million dollar instruments and pushed almost everything else away. What a feat! Great to see you again Kevin and you're actually looking better than ever!<br> While on the subject, when I asked Herbert Goodkind what the hardest part was in making a violin, he had to think hard about it. I guess from watching this video,nothing is easy. But he said, the purfling is extremely difficult. Do you agree? Love the f -holes! What a signature.<br>Even making this video had to be a difficult task. Thanks so much! -:)

" Violas love old gauges ". Nothing sharper than nice old carbon steel. ❤❤❤

Some of us don't actually understand what several hundred hours is. Its a dedication to the glory of God. And the ease on the ears of our fellow men. Right?

Thank you for sharing. I am lost for words. An amazing work of art. I will never make a violin nor a viola myself, that's it. Blessings.

I love this viola. It’s absolutely gorgeous to look at, and the sound is so rich. I’d love to hear more of it.

Few items in life can you find this kind of skill and craftsmanship, handmade instruments is one of the top ones, especially things like violins or any instrument that relies only on the natural sound of the materials and craftsmanship itself. What a stunning looking and beautiful sounding piece of work.
