Maple Leaf Strings Lord Wilton Intermediate Viola with Case 

The Maple Leaf Strings Lord Wilton Intermediate Viola represents the perfect blend of traditional craftsmanship and refined tone for the advancing violist. Expertly hand-carved from highly figured Grade AA spruce and flamed curly maple aged for 4–5 years, this instrument embodies the artistry and precision that define Maple Leaf Strings. Its antique-style varnish—hand-applied using a spirit and oil mix—features a shaded edge pattern and textured craquelure finish inspired by master Italian violas.

Designed for a rich, projecting tone, the Lord Wilton offers exceptional resonance and warmth. The advanced graduation pattern enhances tonal balance across all registers, producing a sound that matures beautifully with consistent play. Its responsiveness and clarity make it ideal for expressive phrasing and dynamic control in solo or ensemble settings.

Perfect for intermediate and advancing players, this model stands out for its combination of depth, comfort, and visual sophistication. With the option of a Strad or Tertis body pattern, musicians can select the design that best suits their playing style—whether seeking classic balance or broader projection.
