The Stentor Messina Viola is the first in Stentor’s range of high-grade orchestral violas. These are superb individually handcrafted instruments, carved from selected and figured tonewoods.

The Stentor Messina viola is made in a specialist hand workshop within the Stentor factory, where the most skilled individual workers produce under the close supervision of a master maker, in a traditional luthier’s environment that would be familiar to makers throughout the centuries. The result is a fine instrument with a superior finish and sound.

The viola is carved from solid tonewoods and finished with a hand-applied traditional shellac varnish to complement the individual look of each instrument. All instruments are individually workshop fitted.

  • Figured maple back, ribs and neck
  • Inlaid purfling
  • Traditional shellac varnish
  • Ebony fingerboard and pegs
