A superb artist-quality viola by master luthier Colin G. Nicholls, London, 1992.  After an eleven year apprenticeship and tenure with W.E. Hill and Sons, Mr. Nicholls established his one-man workshop in the suburbs of the British capital.

Now semi-retired, Colin has earned the reputation of being perhaps the finest contemporary violin maker in the United Kingdom.

Our instrument was previously owned by a professional English player, traded some years ago for another of Colin's instruments. 

It's come to us in pristine original condition showing highly figured wood plus golden-amber oil varnish of high quality.

Back length is 16 3/8 inches .... 414 mm.

We highly recommend this particular instrument, suitable for the most demanding violist. 

*** Violists might be interested in viewing a similar Nicholls instrument, now offered by Terranova Violins of San Antonio. This shop appears to have high regard for Colin's instruments and so do we.  *** 

***** Please note also that we are often on the other side of the Atlantic and hand-to-hand delivery of some instruments is always possible.  That means NO shipping costs, no chance of damage and sometimes a lower charge for VAT taxes.
