Music: Trio 68 for baryton, viola and basso by Joseph Haydn
The Building
of a Violin and a Viola da gamba

These photos were taken during the realisation of a project sponsored by the European Union in the programme Culture-2000 Mozart Call and Artevent Austria. The Instrument-making School of Hallstatt was commissioned by Orpheon to design and build displays on the making of a violin and a viola da gamba for the exhibitions which took place in Vienna (April - June) and Salzburg (September - October).
