Great sound, heavy case
The instrument itself plays beautifully with excellent projection when amplified. My only minor complaint is that the included hard case is quite heavy to carry around for long gigs.

Solid choice for students and pros
Bought this for my advanced student who needed to play in a rock band. The pickup system handles effects pedals very well. Deducted one star because the bow hair needed tightening immediately upon arrival.

Exceeded my expectations
As a professional violist, I was skeptical about an electro-acoustic model, but the tone clarity is remarkable. The ebony fingerboard feels smooth and the setup was perfect out of the box.

No more feedback issues
I used to struggle with microphone feedback during live shows. This 16-inch viola solves that completely while maintaining a rich, organic tone thanks to the solid spruce top.

Beautiful craftsmanship
You can tell this is handcrafted. The flamed maple on the back is gorgeous, and the oil varnish allows the wood to breathe. It sounds acoustic when played softly and powerful when plugged in.

Perfect for stage performances
The solid wood construction gives this electronic viola a warmth that many synthetic models lack. It plugs directly into my amp without any feedback issues, and the handcrafted finish is stunning.
Q: Is the case waterproof?
A: The included hard case is water-resistant and designed to protect against rain and spills, but it is not fully submersible or waterproof.
Q: Can I use steel strings on this instrument?
A: Yes, you can use steel strings, though we recommend synthetic core strings to best complement the solid wood body and achieve the intended tonal balance.
Q: What is the scale length of this 16-inch viola?
A: The scale length is approximately 370mm (14.5 inches), which is standard for a full-size 16-inch viola body.
Q: How long does the 9V battery typically last?
A: With regular playing, the 9V battery usually lasts between 40 to 60 hours. We recommend unplugging the cable when not in use to preserve battery life.
Q: Does this viola come with a built-in tuner?
A: No, this model does not include a built-in tuner in the preamp system, but it features standard output compatible with external clip-on or pedal tuners.
