Viola by Jacob von der Lippe – Oslo, 2012

There are many advantages to acquiring a new instrument; you shape the sound with your own personality, the instrument is fresh and healthy, and in my case, you get follow-up throughout the instrument’s lifetime. This is easy to forget when buying a new instrument, but in the long run it is something my clients really appreciate. It’s like a long friendship between the instrument, the musician and me. 5 years of education from Cremona and 24 years of experience with my own workshop in Oslo with a focus on new builds lay the foundation for the instruments I build.

Viola made by Jacob von der Lippe in 2012 on a personal model. The viola is 41 cm long, and the vibrating string length is 36.9 cm. It is easy to play and well-articulated with a smooth and noble sound. The sound carries very well in chamber music and in larger rooms. The viola has many tonal possibilities and room for variation, can sound soft and fine in an orchestra, baroque in Bach, and intense in Bartok. It has received many positive comments from musicians in, among others, the Oslo Philharmonic and the Opera Orchestra.

Ever since the viola was new, it has been regularly serviced by me personally, and is very well maintained. This is a great and easy-to-play instrument that is now ready for a new owner. Sold with certificate. The viola is now available to try out.
