Maple Leaf Strings Haddock Professional Viola with Case

The Maple Leaf Strings Haddock Viola is a professional-level instrument modeled after the legendary Guarneri del Gesù Bench Copy 1734, combining historical craftsmanship with modern playability. Each viola is fully hand-carved from highly figured Grade AAA seasoned European maple for the back and premium spruce for the top, meticulously aged for over 5 years to maximize resonance, stability, and tonal richness. Its master-level hand-applied oil varnish, finished in a simulated authentic antique style, highlights the instrument’s natural beauty while providing enduring protection.

Designed for advanced performers, the Haddock delivers a bright, clear, and powerful tone across its full range. The professional Guarneri graduation pattern ensures precise tonal balance and projection, allowing the viola to develop a dynamic and expressive character over time. Every note resonates with clarity, warmth, and nuance, making it perfect for solo performance, orchestral work, or chamber music.

Ideal for professional musicians, conservatory students, and serious performers, the Haddock stands out in its class with its combination of historical inspiration, master craftsmanship, and superior tonal performance. The instrument’s ergonomic design and expert setup ensure comfort and responsiveness for long playing sessions, offering both elegance and technical excellence.
