Viola by Alberto Pasolini, Cremona 2023

Resonant with Ease

This viola features a resonant, ringing sound with a rounded middle register and a strong, focused low end. It speaks easily, requiring minimal player activation, and offers a rewarding, accessible tone. Its compact Guadagnini-based design and body shaping make the instrument comfortable and agile, allowing easy access to notes and smooth shifts. Built with a two-piece maple back, it carries two internal labels identifying the model and its contemporary maker.
