This viola is labeled Carlo Landolphi by William Bartruff and its body length measures 15 ⅞”. It was the primary instrument of a Chicago Symphony Orchestra member.
From a young age, William Bartruff was fascinated with fine musical instruments after he was given a Gasparo da Salò violin at the age of six. He went on to study the early Italian violin makers and craft his own instruments modeled after the great makers he studied. William currently operates a shop in Minneapolis, MN. This viola is available for trial via shipment or viewing in our showroom.
