David Yale Heritage Series Maggini Viola Outfit 16.25"
Our Price: $3,299

The David Yale Heritage Maggini Model Viola is built for violists who want power, depth, and unmistakable visual distinction. Inspired by historic Maggini instruments, this viola showcases elegant double purfling and a beautifully antiqued chestnut-brown varnish, giving it the appearance of a seasoned, heirloom instrument from the very first note.

At 16.25" (415mm), this viola delivers a robust, huge sound with exceptional resonance and projection. The larger body size allows the instrument to produce a deep, sonorous C string that speaks easily and fills a room, while the upper registers remain clear and focused. The result is a rich tonal spectrum suited for orchestral, chamber, and solo playing alike.

David Yale Heritage Series Da Salo Viola Outfit
Our Price: $3,299

The David Yale Heritage Gasparo da Salò Model Viola draws inspiration from the legendary Brescian master Gasparo da Salò, whose instruments are revered for their bold tonal presence and distinctive arching. This 15.5" viola blends classic craftsmanship with modern playability, making it an ideal choice for players who want richness of tone in a more comfortable body size.

Built with traditional Brescian arching, this viola produces a full, robust voice with excellent projection and a strong core tone. The design encourages a broad resonance across all registers, while still maintaining clarity and articulation. The double purfling adds a striking historical detail, complemented by a beautifully antiqued brown varnish that gives the instrument a seasoned, old-world aesthetic.

David Yale Heritage Series Tertis Viola Outfit

Our Price: $3,299.99

The David Yale Tertis Model Viola is inspired by the innovative design concepts of legendary violist Lionel Tertis, who championed instruments that could deliver a larger, richer tone without the unwieldy size of oversized violas. Crafted for Kennedy Violins, this 16" model embodies that philosophy—offering commanding tonal presence in a highly playable format.

Its proportions are carefully designed to maximize resonance and projection while maintaining ergonomic comfort. The result is a viola that feels responsive under the ear yet projects confidently into a hall, making it ideal for orchestral, chamber, and solo performance. The instrument features a beautifully antiqued brown finish that enhances its visual depth and gives it the character of a well-aged instrument from the very first performance.

Baroque Maggini Violin

Our Price: $2,599

This is a beautifully preserved French-made Maggini-model violin, crafted in the early 20th century and later professionally converted to an authentic baroque setup. With its double-purfling, elegant extended-pattern outline, and warm historic varnish, this violin is ideal for players seeking the tonal color and playing response of early-period instruments—without the high cost of an 18th-century original.

Happy Valentine's Day from all of us at Kennedy Violins!
