Thanks! The best part of it is the sound. The player took it yesterday to his orchestra.

Luis, it is absolutely beautiful! I have a fetish for one-piece backs. They are so much more attractive and the wood you used is gorgeous. I wish I could hear it.

Thanks! Yes, you can listen to it, here a sound sample with Alberto Lepage playing Harold in Italy with a viola I made to him in 2006, with the Cordoba Orchestra:
