Viola players are difficult to please - no two players ever seem to want the same length instrument, or if they do, they want different widths and rib depths and so on. A list is therefore meaningless - it cannot possibly convey enough information to help a potential player. However my stock is changing all the time, of course. It is best to phone and let me know the kind of thing you are looking for. I'll be able to tell you if I have anything suitable. At the moment (January 12th 2010) I have a beautiful small-but-sounds-wonderful viola by James & Henry Banks of Salisbury, dated 1808. The back is only 15 3/8 long. Despite its beauty, the last two hundred years have taken their toll, for it has repairs to the neck block and to a soundpost crack in the back. So it would suit someone who has always longed for a good named instrument but who never thought they could afford one.

I have a few new violas, including a beautiful instrument, just over 16 inches, by Michaela Wedemeyer at £5,500, and two others by Philip Walters. Of course I have several 19th Century German and French violas too.
