History of the Instrument

A highly appealing Milanese viola by Giuseppe Tarasconi, dated 1890, distinguished by its pure, well-balanced model and excellent proportions. In a category where size and geometry can make or break an instrument’s usefulness, this viola stands out for feeling immediately “right” in the hands—comfortable, efficient, and thoughtfully designed.

Tonally, it offers a focused, centered core with the warmth and depth players look for, while retaining clarity and quick response for articulation. The result is a viola that speaks easily, blends beautifully in ensemble settings, and still has the presence to carry when needed.

A particularly strong example of late-19th-century Milanese making, and an ideal choice for players seeking a well-sized viola with clean character and dependable performance.

Available by appointment in New York City.
