William Bartruff Viola, Minneapolis, 15 7/8″

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.

Thank you, Jim!

Thank you, Jim! After more than two decades of incredibly loyal and dedicated service to Potter Violins, Jim Kelly has made the decision to devote his attention full-time to the National Philharmonic.

There is no way to fully convey my appreciation for the incredible loyalty that Jim has shown me and this company over the years. The level of sacrifice of both time and effort that Jim has given over these past two decades is truly breathtaking.

Jim, I want to publicly thank you for the friendship and professional courtesy you have shown me over the years. I am so grateful to you and know that I will still be depending on you for advice and support, and your sense of optimism and humor.

I know that Jim shares my profound conviction that the work we do changes lives. His efforts with the National Philharmonic will be bringing beauty to new communities and generations. I applaud him and wish him the very best in this new chapter—making a difference is what he does best.

As we enter our 29th year in business, I and the staff at Potter Violins wish Jim well and look forward to partnering with the National Philharmonic and the greater DC community to continue to serve the needs of the string players and music lovers of the nation’s capital.

L Dalton Potter
President, Potter Violins
