Samuel A. Payton Viola – New York, 2021 (16 1/4")
Made in 2021 by New York maker Samuel A. Payton, this 16 1/4" viola reflects a balance of modern craftsmanship and traditional sensibility. Built from carefully chosen spruce and maple, it shows Payton’s attention to detail in both construction and varnish work, resulting in an instrument that is as visually elegant as it is tonally rich.
The viola offers a deep, resonant lower register paired with clarity and warmth in the upper range, making it versatile for both solo and ensemble playing. Its comfortable size and powerful sound make it well-suited for advancing students, serious amateurs, or professionals looking for a responsive, American-made viola.
