Viola by Kenneth E. Sullivan, 1995 – Ithaca, NY | No. 19 | 16 1/4"
This 16 1/4" viola, No. 19, was crafted in 1995 by Kenneth E. Sullivan during his time in Ithaca, New York, while he was employed by Reuning & Sons. Early in his career, Sullivan's work already reflected the hallmarks of his later reputation: clean, thoughtful craftsmanship, traditional modeling, and a deep focus on tonal integrity.
Built with carefully selected tonewoods and finished in a warm, hand-applied varnish, this viola offers a rich, nuanced sound with a resonant low end and a clear, singing upper register. Its size strikes a balance between projection and playability, making it an excellent choice for serious players seeking a responsive and expressive instrument.
A beautifully made early work from one of today’s respected American makers, rooted in both fine craftsmanship and a strong professional lineage.
