Inasmuch as I have mentioned it, I thought someone might be interested in seeing my viola. It was made by Marten Cornellissen, a Northampton Mass luthier. My bow, not shown here, was made by the great French-American archetier Benoit Roland. As my viola teacher acerbically observed when I bought them, "Now you don't have any excuses." Needless to say, they are much too good for me!
