Beautiful instrument, minor setup tweak needed

The viola itself is breathtaking. The wood grain is exactly as pictured. I had to adjust the bridge slightly to get the action exactly how I like it, but once set up, it plays like a dream. Very responsive across all registers.

Stunning tone and beautiful craftsmanship

I upgraded from a factory student model to this handcrafted viola, and the difference is night and day. The tiger stripe pattern is gorgeous, but more importantly, the sound is warm, rich, and projects beautifully in our chamber group. The setup was perfect right out of the case.

Exceeded my expectations

I was hesitant to buy an instrument online without trying it first, but the detailed photos and description gave me confidence. It arrived well-packaged and sounded amazing immediately. The case is sturdy and the shoulder rest fits perfectly.

Great sound, heavy case

The viola sounds fantastic with a very complex overtone series. My only minor complaint is that the hard case is quite heavy, which matters when carrying it to rehearsals daily. However, the protection it offers is top-notch.

Excellent value for a solid wood instrument

As a teacher, I recommend this model to my advanced students frequently. The solid spruce top and flamed maple back provide a maturity of sound that usually costs much more. The included accessory kit is surprisingly high quality, especially the bow.

Perfect for intermediate to advanced players

I've been playing for fifteen years and this is my third viola. The resonance on the C-string is incredible, which is often a weak point on smaller instruments. The oil varnish gives it a very authentic feel compared to spirit varnishes.

5 FAQ

Q: Can I exchange the ebony tailpiece for one without fine tuners?

A: This model comes specifically with an ebony tailpiece featuring four integrated fine tuners for ease of tuning. If you prefer a different tailpiece, you can easily swap it out, as the instrument uses standard fitting dimensions.

Q: Is the case included lightweight or a heavy-duty wooden case?

A: The included case is a durable, molded composite hard shell case with a plush velvet interior. It offers excellent protection against impacts and humidity changes while being lighter than traditional wooden oblong cases.

Q: What is the exact scale length of this 16-inch model?

A: The vibrating string length (scale length) for this 16-inch viola is approximately 375mm (14.75 inches), which is standard for full-size 16-inch instruments.

Q: Are the strings pre-installed, and what brand are they?

A: Yes, the viola comes strung with a premium synthetic core set installed and stretched. While brands may vary slightly based on stock, we typically use high-quality sets comparable to Dominant or Pirastro Tonica standards.

Q: Does this viola come ready to play or does it need a luthier setup?

A: This viola undergoes a professional setup before shipping, including bridge fitting and soundpost adjustment. It is ready to play immediately upon arrival, though we always recommend a final check by your local luthier for personal preference adjustments.
