Viola Labeled Lollij Jacopo, Napoli, Anno 1729 – 16 1/4"
This distinctive 16 1/4-inch viola bears a label reading Lollij Jacopo, Napoli, Anno 1729. While the authenticity of the label cannot be confirmed—due to limited documentation on the maker—the instrument itself displays several hallmarks of 19th-century Neapolitan craftsmanship.
With its dramatic arching and particularly narrow upper bout, the viola offers both visual individuality and tonal complexity. It produces a bright, open, and projecting sound—clear and assertive in ensemble settings, yet responsive and easy to play.
Remarkably, the instrument is in pristine condition, which is especially notable given its presumed age. Its preservation only adds to the intrigue and appeal, making it a rare find for players seeking a historically rooted, one-of-a-kind viola with both character and clarity.
