Description
Crafted in 2008 at the respected Kremona Studios in Bulgaria, this 16.5” Stradivari V3 420 model viola showcases the precision, tonal refinement, and warmth that have made Kremona a distinguished European maker since 1924. This instrument blends traditional craftsmanship with exceptional playability, offering a full, resonant voice that suits advancing and professional violists alike.
Instrument Details
The viola features a select two-piece flamed maple back with deep, symmetrical figure, paired with a straight-grained spruce top. The oil varnish is a rich reddish-brown over a golden base, highlighting the natural flame of the maple and adding depth to its elegant finish. The Stradivari-inspired outline and arching give this model a focused tone with excellent projection and responsiveness.
Professionally adjusted and set up by the luthiers at Kennedy Violins, this instrument has a smooth, balanced response across all registers, ideal for both solo and ensemble settings.
