Competition Medal Winners

Grade/Quality: Competition Medal Winners

A competition medal is one of the clearest signals of quality in the fine instrument world. The violas in this category were made by luthiers who have earned formal recognition from international juries — giving buyers an independently verified standard of excellence alongside Jim Kelly’s own evaluation.
