The rib structure garland receives some inside trimming before installing the linings and glueing to the back and belly.

A short pleasant drive south of Calgary to the Town Okotoks. Tyler Langdon offers violin, viola, cello and double bass construction rentals and care.

I first picked up the violin at the age of five, and studied the Suzuki method. It was a terrific introduction to music and fostered a great love and appreciation for music. I’ve been involved with orchestras, bands, and chamber groups since my early teens and currently play the viola in a quartet and civic symphony.
