Thomas Kennedy 2014 15 3/4" ViolaThis fascinating viola is a modified Tertis model which has a bit wider bouts and slightly deeper ribs which moves a lot of air in a shorter length viola. At 15. 75" this viola has the sound of a much larger viola, especially in the bass register. This viola is handmade by Thomas Kennedy in Oregon, and features a beautiful two piece maple back, and sides and a very even grained Engelmann spruce top. The fittings are boxwood with baroque style carvings
