Viola by Jonathan Cooper – Portland, Maine (1988, 16")
This 1988 viola by Jonathan Cooper is an early example of the fine New England craftsmanship that has since made his instruments highly regarded among professional players. Built on a comfortable 16" pattern, it shows Cooper’s attentive woodworking and elegant, understated aesthetic, paired with a beautifully applied varnish that has aged gracefully over the decades.
Tonally, the viola offers a rich, velvety lower register, paired with a clear, flexible upper range that responds easily to nuance. Its balance, projection, and warmth make it well suited to serious students, chamber musicians, and advancing players who appreciate an instrument with both character and depth. With its inviting tonal palette and handmade quality, this Cooper viola stands as a compelling example of an accomplished American maker early in his career.
