2010 - Lupot Violin Copy Started
Using some very old spruce and maple which I've had sitting around for
awhile, I started a full size copy of a Lupot violin. Nicolas Lupot was
a highly respected and quality French maker who made in the style of
Stradivarius, so much so that by some he has been called ' The French
Stradivarius'. Click on the picture below for a look at the process.

Pearwood Viola is varnished and now playing! From the
pictures you can see the viola gradually darken to the final amber
colour. It is now set
up and playing and has a beautiful full rich sound. If you are
interested in trying it, do contact me and come by the workshop. For
it's 'official' glam pictures in full set up, go to the Instruments for
Sale page.
