As a violinist and violist, I have been playing on a friend’s Don Tatem viola for the past 3 years in a variety of settings. I find it a very easy instrument to switch to from the violin and really like the strong, even tone across its range. I came to Cardiff Violins specifically to buy a Don Tatem for myself and found a similar instrument in size to the one I was playing that I really like and am looking forward to playing. I have tried quite a few instruments much higher in value yet none have seemed quite as nice as Don’s! Thanks to Cardiff Violins for helping me.
