Maple Leaf Strings Cremonese Intermediate Viola with Case

Maple Leaf Strings Cremonese Intermediate Viola with Case 

The Maple Leaf Strings Cremonese Viola is a masterfully crafted intermediate instrument that bridges traditional craftsmanship with refined tonal precision. Each viola is fully hand-carved from highly figured Grade AA Russian spruce and flamed curly maple, aged for 4–5 years to ensure superior stability and tonal maturity. The professional spirit and oil mixed varnish, shaded in a smooth, blended pattern without antiquing, gives the instrument a clean, elegant appearance that reflects the precision of its construction and the inspiration of the classic Cremonese style.

This model delivers a rich, warm tonal character with excellent projection and resonance, achieved through its advanced Guarneri graduation pattern. The result is a viola with a deep, resonant lower register and a vibrant, focused upper range—perfect for both solo and ensemble performance. The Cremonese responds beautifully to nuanced bowing, developing even greater tonal depth as it’s played over time.

Ideal for intermediate to advancing students, teachers, and performers, the Cremonese Viola offers remarkable playability, aesthetic balance, and tonal refinement. Its combination of premium materials, precision craftsmanship, and expressive sound make it a standout choice for players seeking a professional-quality feel at an accessible price point.
