Viola by Kenneth E. Sullivan, 2011 – Rochester, NY | 16 5/8"
This 16 5/8" viola was handcrafted in 2011 by Kenneth E. Sullivan in Rochester, New York. Known for his acoustically sensitive approach and finely made instruments, Sullivan draws on traditional methods while tailoring each build to maximize tonal depth and playability.
Uncommonly, this viola features a one-piece willow back—chosen for its warm, resonant qualities—paired with a finely carved spruce top and finished in a hand-applied amber-brown varnish. The result is a broad, enveloping tone with a deep, sonorous low end and a clear, projecting upper register. The instrument offers excellent response and balance, making it ideal for serious performers who demand nuance and power.
A thoughtfully built modern American viola that combines traditional craftsmanship with a uniquely rich and characterful voice.
