Viol Kit
The same range of Viols are offered in kit form for home assembly.
The price includes the license to build one instrument for private use.
An important feature of our viol kits is the inclusion of a mould to ensure
success, even for the first time builder, so assembly of the body can begin
immediately.
The selected maple back is centre jointed, sanded to thickness and with the
fold guide pre-cut.
The fingerboard and tailpiece are supplied as tapered blanks to be shaped
before applying the matching rosewood veneer.
The ribs are pre-bent. Pegs, maple bridge, purfling, veneer, fretting gut and
a set of good quality strings are all included.
A fully dimensioned plan and instruction manual take the builder through the
construction of the instrument in a clear and concise manner, with 'step by
step' photographs further illustrating each stage.
All the kits Include free access to our customer 'Helpline' should you need
any advice on construction, setting-up or playing.
The 6 string Treble Viol kit has the centre jointed front made from
