Perfect for my daughter's Grade 5 exam

We bought the 13-inch model for my daughter, and it has a surprisingly warm tone for a student instrument. The reinforced edges give me peace of mind since she takes it to school every day. Highly recommended for growing musicians.

Beautiful craftsmanship

I was impressed by the attention to detail on the varnish and the fit of the seams. It responds well to bowing and has a clear upper register. A solid choice for intermediate players.

Good projection in ensemble

I use this for our community orchestra. It cuts through the mix nicely without being harsh. The only reason for 4 stars is that the strings it came with were average, but swapping them made it sing.

Sturdy and reliable

The reinforced edge feature is not just marketing; you can feel the sturdiness. My son dropped his case once, and the instrument was completely fine. Sound quality is excellent for the price point.

Exceeded expectations

Ordered the 12-inch for a young student. The setup was done professionally, and the action is very comfortable for small hands. The tone is mature and not tinny at all.

Great value handmade viola

The figured maple on the back is stunning. It took a few days to settle after shipping, but once set up, the sound is rich and projecting. The 14-inch size fits me perfectly as an adult beginner.

5 FAQ

Q: Is the fingerboard made of real ebony or painted wood?

A: All Yiming Instruments violas feature genuine ebony fingerboards, ensuring durability and a smooth playing surface that does not wear down quickly.

Q: What is the difference between the 13-inch and 14-inch models?

A: The primary difference is the body length, which affects the reach required for the player. The 14-inch is standard for adults, while the 13-inch is ideal for younger students or adults with shorter arms.

Q: Does this viola come with a case and bow?

A: This listing is for the viola only. Cases and bows are sold separately to allow you to choose the specific quality and style you prefer.

Q: How long does the handmade process take before shipping?

A: Since these are handmade instruments, we typically require 3-5 business days for final inspection and setup before your order ships to ensure optimal playability upon arrival.

Q: Can this instrument handle professional level performance?

A: While designed primarily for students and exam candidates, many advanced players find the tone and response sufficient for semi-professional gigs, especially after a professional setup and string upgrade.
