Violas

Each of Rod Ward’s violas is individually handmade with a focus on balance, resonance, and projection, combining traditional craftsmanship with an understanding of the modern player’s needs. Drawing inspiration from classic Brescian and Cremonese models, Rod carefully selects tonewoods that produce a deep, responsive, and characterful tone. Whether crafted for a professional musician or an advancing student, every viola offers a unique voice, designed to be both expressive and comfortable to play.
