The business model used by professional orchestras (and most nonprofits in general) is broken, and these types of organizations will begin to disappear if we don’t begin to include entrepreneurship…Continue

Dimensions of violins and cellos are pretty much standardized and players of these instruments expect a 4/4 violin for example to have a stop length of 195mm and a neck stop of 130mm ( 3:2 ratio). Similarly the rib heights of violins are pretty much in the range of 30-32mm. Violas on the other hand do not have the history of either violin or cello and far fewer instruments have come down to us from the 16th and 17th century so makers have more freedom to make instruments according to the personal requirements of musicians, for example sizes of violas can vary from 14.5" to 17" plus.
While respecting certain ratios in the design of a viola that should (must) always be observed irrespective of the size of the viola, a viola player may have a very precise set of parameters a bespoke viola should incorporate.
Violas enable a luthier to do exactly that!

Yes, there are just painted chinrests and tailpieces, but I haven't had the time to enter them yet. I will try to get to them by this next week. Thank you for checking out my site!

I think maybe you should consider coming over here! ;-)

"HDAudioPlus" is the name of our audio post-process and R+D production studio located in Beit Shemesh, Israel.
HDAudioPlus is also the name of the 320.48KHz "audiophile mp3" cross-platform digital music codec we developed.
We are the specialists in classical music post-processing for broadcast, streaming, publication in hardcover or digital download. In addition, we recently opened a separate studio for creative MTV-style video production for Classical.
Samples of these videos in classical and other genres may be viewed by following the link below to the demo gallery on Vimeo.

Your Web Presence
I just finished reading a blog by Gerald Klickstein, author of the Musician's Way, regarding the importance of musician's building websites to promote and sustain their career. In the blog "Build a Website," Mr. Klickstein states "All musicians need websites to present their work to the world and build relationships with fans." While it is true that building a website can be…

Are you enjoying live music this Christmas? Does a string quartet play in your church at midnight on Christmas Eve or have you attended a Messiah or Nutcracker performance? If so, consider thanking your local performing arts organizations with a financial contribution.
Let me explain why. Many…

An NPR intern, Emily White, recently posted a blog on NPR confessing that she has never bought a single piece of music in her 11,000 piece library. Here is an excerpt from her post:
I never went through the transition from physical to digital. I'm almost 21, and since I first began to love music I've been spoiled by the Internet.
I am an avid music listener,…
Continue 2012 Viola Congress
Posted on June 6, 2012 at 7:43am 2 Comments 0 Likes
Let me start by saying Bravo to George Taylor, Carol Rodland and Phillip Ying for putting together an amazing array of recitals and masterclasses for the 40th Viola Congress at Eastman. If anything, I felt there was too much to see and do.
The Congress opened with a rousing performance of "Fanfare for the Common Man" (Copland/arr. Bergman) for viola choir. The performers were members of the Eastman and Beijing Viola Ensmbles. They played with great energy and the sound…
