BAR Markovich

Bar-Markovich“The first time I saw a Viper was on 2008 when browsing videos on YouTube. At the beginning I thought – what strange space-ships they build today that pretend to be a violin. But after hearing the true sound of it my mind was blown away and I started to look for my own Viper by Wood Violins. The Viper gave me the opportunity to explore and search for new approach of sound. Its magnificent capability of absorbing the sound produced by the hands and translating it in a most precise way, is what made me so curious about owning one. Now I can enjoy unlimited options of vast range of sound and tonal use!”
