Michael Gene Scoggins (b.1954, d. 2008) was an important luthier in the Salt Lake City violinmaking scene. He and his former wife, Carrie Scoggins taught at the Violinmaking School of America. This instrument has a poplar back. It is an exceptionally light instrument for its size and feels very alive and healthy. It features beautiful deep red varnish, crisp clean edgework and is a thoroughly reliable instrument that offers projection, responsiveness and depth for the conservatory-level or professional violist. 

Length of Back: 16 9/16
