Exceeded expectations for the price
I was hesitant to buy a viola online without trying it first, but this one surprised me. The C-string has a deep, resonant quality that is often hard to find in this size range. It fits perfectly in our community orchestra ensemble.

Great sound, needs setup
The instrument itself is beautiful and sounds warm. However, like many handcrafted instruments shipped internationally, it required a local luthier to adjust the bridge and soundpost properly. Once set up, it plays like a dream.

Orchestra ready out of the box
Joined a semi-professional ensemble immediately after receiving this. The balance between the strings is excellent, and it cuts through the texture of the full orchestra without sounding harsh. Very pleased with this purchase.

Beautiful aesthetic and tone
The antique varnish finish gives it a very professional look on stage. The response is quick, making fast passages easy to execute. I use this as my primary teaching instrument and it demonstrates techniques beautifully.

Solid choice for adults
As an adult returning to music after 20 years, I needed something better than a rental but not a custom $5k instrument. This hits the sweet spot. The 15.5 inch size is comfortable for my arm length.

Perfect for my advanced student
I purchased this viola for a student preparing for their conservatory entrance exam. The tone is incredibly rich and projects well in a large hall. The craftsmanship on the flamed maple back is stunning. Highly recommended for serious players.
Q: Is the bridge pre-cut or does it need fitting?
A: The Aubert bridge is supplied uncut to ensure the best possible fit for your specific instrument's arching. We strongly recommend having a local luthier fit and dress the bridge before heavy playing.
Q: What is the return policy if the instrument doesn't suit my playing style?
A: We offer a 30-day return policy provided the instrument is in its original condition with no damage or modifications. The buyer is responsible for return shipping costs and insurance.
Q: Can the body size be customized to exactly 15.25 inches?
A: Yes, since these are handcrafted, we can accommodate specific size requests between 15 and 16 inches. Please contact us directly after placing your order to specify your exact measurement preference.
Q: Does this viola come with a bow and rosin?
A: This listing includes the viola, a lightweight oblong case, and a cleaning cloth. A bow and rosin are sold separately to allow players to choose their preferred weight and hair type.
Q: How long does shipping usually take to the US?
A: Standard international shipping typically takes 7 to 12 business days. Expedited shipping options are available at checkout for delivery within 3 to 5 business days.
