A viola by Alessandro Tossani, Cremona 2026, 41.7cm

Price range: £50,000+

Alessandro Tossani has been a friend of the shop for over 10 years and in fact my assistant, Martin , used to do some work in Cremona for him!

Tossani is violin making “old school”…entering the violin making school while still aged 13!, after further studies he then worked for Bruce Carlson , the Cremonese Expert, for 10 years, mainly doing restoration on high end violins.  In 1991 he opened his own workshop in the city.

Tossani was also a founding member and president of the “Consortium Antonio Stradivari Cremona”.

 

 

Sean Bishop “People often ask me what I look for in an instrument.
And for me it’s about my taste.
The workmanship, varnish and tonal colours.
My taste is built from the age of 14 looking at 5 violins and wondering what is the “best” one.
And why?!
So my taste has formed over the past 40 years of an obsession that I can luckily call my job.
And here it is, for me, the finest new viola I have owned. Ever. And for sale of course.
Alessandro Tossani, Cremona, 2026

All boxes ticked. Makers personality, skills, style, tone…all achieved in one instrument.”
