The Kremona Student Model 420 mm Viola (16.5″) is a finely crafted educational instrument from Bulgaria, designed to support advancing violists with reliable tone and performance-ready build. While this particular model is discontinued, it maintains the hallmark Kremona quality—solid spruce top, maple back and sides, and polished workmanship that offers excellent value for a serious student instrument.

Tonally, this viola offers a warm, resonant sound that projects confidently in chamber and ensemble settings. The combination of carved spruce and maple ensures a balanced voice across all registers, with sufficient clarity and depth for developing players to explore expressive dynamics and refined tone production. It’s ideal for someone ready to step up from an entry-level instrument.

Professionally set up and ready to play, this Kremona 16.5″ viola model stands out for its craftsmanship and longevity, even though it’s no longer in production.
