Just completed earlier this year — a 40cm viola inspired by Gasparo da Salò.
Dark, powerful tone with depth and resonance across all registers. Big sound for a smaller viola!
I'll be exhibiting it in the "Cuvée Darling Expo 2025" this September in Cremona.

Massive thanks to Andy Lim for the photos!

Just finished up at the BVMA Makers day in London. Absolutely delighted how the Maggini cello I made along with my friend Jeremie Legrand turned out! It was chosen to be played by the Kreutzer Quartet! Loads of interesting positive feedback. Good day.
