Viola by Brian T. Derber – Wisconsin, 1995 (No. 42, 16 1/4")
This 16 1/4" viola, numbered 42 and made in 1995 by Brian T. Derber, is a fine example of the maker’s thoughtful craftsmanship and tonal sensitivity. Built from well-chosen spruce and maple, the instrument features confident workmanship and a warm, richly colored varnish that has matured beautifully over time.
Tonally, the viola offers a deep, resonant lower register paired with a clear, singing upper range. Its balanced response and comfortable proportions make it well suited to advanced students and professional players seeking an American-made viola with warmth, power, and nuance. Both visually and musically compelling, this instrument reflects Derber’s refined approach to viola making.
