Making

    Mark currently concentrates on two models of violin and two of viola that have proved reliable in tone and are well balanced aesthestically.

  • A golden period Stradivari based violin model
  • A model loosely based on a beautiful Niccolo Gagliano violin
  • A successful viola model of Mark's own design
  • A Guarneri based viola model made in two sizes
