The Chaconne Craftsman Collection viola blends old-world inspiration with thoughtful modern craftsmanship, creating an instrument that feels special from the first time it is picked up. Designed for advancing players, it offers the larger 16.5” body size for a fuller, richer voice with added depth and projection. Parisian Eye fittings and Guarneri tailpiece and chinrest give it a refined European look that stands apart in any studio or ensemble setting.

Seasoned tonewoods give the Chaconne its warm, responsive character. A hand-carved Grade A spruce top that has been dried for 4 to 5 years brings clarity and quick response, while the flamed curly maple back and sides add strength, focus, and a handsome visual shimmer beneath the varnish. The professional-quality mixed spirit and oil varnish enhances the natural beauty of the wood with a rich, classic glow while allowing the instrument to resonate freely. A premium student Stradivarius graduation pattern helps the body speak evenly across the strings, supporting a balanced tone with smooth transitions from low to high register.

In the hand, this viola is comfortable, dependable, and encouraging to play. D’Addario Helicore strings offer stable tuning and a clean, focused response, while the Aubert 7 bridge supports solid string balance and confident articulation. Whether working through etudes, orchestra music, or solo repertoire, this instrument delivers the kind of tone, feel, and visual character that can carry a student confidently into advanced playing. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this is a viola built to inspire practice and reward growth.
