Viola by Derwent Angier, 1970 – Rochester, NY | 15 3/4"
This 15 3/4" viola was crafted in 1970 by Derwent Angier, a Rochester-based maker known for his meticulous attention to detail and commitment to traditional violin-making techniques. Though relatively few of his instruments are in circulation, Angier’s work reflects a deep understanding of form, function, and tonal balance.
This viola features clean craftsmanship, a subtly flamed maple back, a well-carved spruce top, and a golden-brown varnish that has aged gracefully. Tonally, it offers a warm, focused voice with clarity and resonance across all registers. The comfortably sized body makes it an ideal choice for players seeking a responsive instrument with a rich, mature tone without the bulk of a larger viola.
A rare and well-made American viola with personal craftsmanship and tonal charm.
