Responsive and balanced
The response across all four strings is very even. I was worried about the C-string being muddy, but it is clear and deep. This instrument handles fast passages with ease, making it great for solo repertoire too.

Professional quality at a reasonable price
I have played on instruments costing three times as much that did not sound this good. The flamed maple back is stunning visually, and the acoustic properties are top-notch for ensemble playing.

Solid choice for adult learners
Returning to music after 20 years, I wanted something better than a rental but not a custom shop price. This viola strikes that balance perfectly. The finish is gorgeous and the sound is mature.

Great value for a handcrafted instrument
As a teacher, I needed a reliable instrument for my advanced ensemble. The craftsmanship is solid, and the setup was done perfectly out of the box. It took a few days to open up, but now it sings beautifully.

Perfect for my orchestra audition
I purchased the 15.5" model for my regional orchestra audition and the sound projection was incredible. The tone is dark and woody, exactly what I needed to stand out in the section. Highly recommended for serious students.

Exceeded expectations for exam performance
My daughter used this viola for her Grade 8 exam and received distinction marks. The examiner specifically commented on the richness of her tone. The 16" size fits her perfectly and allows for full expression.
Q: Do you offer a warranty on the handcrafted finish?
A: Yes, all our handcrafted violas come with a one-year warranty covering any defects in materials or workmanship, including issues with the varnish or structural integrity under normal use.
Q: Is the case included durable enough for air travel?
A: The included case is a lightweight hard shell designed for daily transport and protection against bumps. For frequent air travel, we recommend upgrading to our flight-ready composite case available separately.
Q: Does this viola come fully set up and ready to play?
A: Yes, every instrument is inspected and set up by our luthiers before shipping. The bridge is fitted, the soundpost is adjusted, and the strings are installed and tuned.
Q: Can I exchange the strings if I prefer a different brand?
A: Absolutely. While the pre-installed strings are high quality, many professionals change strings to match their personal preference. The tailpiece and pegs are standard and compatible with all major string brands.
Q: What is the difference between the 15.5" and 16" models?
A: The primary difference is the body length, which affects the depth of the lower register. The 16" offers a deeper, more resonant C-string but requires a slightly larger reach. We recommend trying both if possible to see which fits your arm length best.
