Masumi Rostad's 1770 Joseph Hill viola is a stable and responsive partner
For quartet playing, this violist prefers a smaller viola for sports-car-like handling.
What gift does this instrument bring to your playing that cannot be found in any other instrument? How does this instrument inspire you as a performer?
I’m not particularly romantic about instruments, since it can be confusing to think that way about such a big financial investment. I want a healthy viola and bow to make the strings work the way I want them to. I play about 100 concerts a year, all over the world, and I want professional tools that reliably respond to what I put into them, wherever I happen to open my case. Call me a control freak—or call me a string player!
