Instrumental Advent Calendar #1: Viola

December 1, 2017 / Gjermund Kolltveit / , ,

Today it is 1st of December, and I hereby open the first door of my instrumental Advent calendar, consisting of 24 days with 24 musical instruments of all kinds. About on third are instruments made by myself, while others come from other parts of the world. I wish you a peaceful Advent time!
