Exceptional tone for the price
I purchased the 406mm model for my daughter who is advancing in her studies. The European materials really make a difference in the warmth of the sound. It arrived well-packaged and setup was perfect right out of the box.

Excellent value for European materials
As a luthier myself, I can appreciate the quality of the wood selection here. The spruce top is evenly grained and the maple back has nice flame. For the price point, you cannot find better European materials elsewhere.

Perfect upgrade from student model
Switching from a factory-made student viola to this handcrafted Taishi was a night and day difference. The projection in the lower register is rich and clear. Highly recommend the 420mm size for adults with longer arms.

Great handcrafted instrument
The craftsmanship on this Taishi viola is impressive. The varnish is beautiful and the wood grain is tight. I deducted one star only because the bridge needed slight adjustment to match my playing style, but that is normal for any new instrument.

Beautiful aesthetics and sound
Not only does this viola sound professional, but it looks stunning. The oil varnish gives it a deep, antique look. The ebony fittings are smooth and the pegs turn easily. Very satisfied with this purchase.

Solid choice for intermediate players
This is a very responsive instrument. It speaks easily even in the higher positions. The case included is sturdy enough for local travel. My only wish is that it came with a slightly higher quality bow, but the instrument itself is fantastic.
Q: Can I exchange the size if I ordered the wrong one?
A: Absolutely. We offer a 30-day exchange policy for size swaps provided the instrument is returned in its original condition with all accessories and packaging intact. Please contact our support team to initiate the process.
Q: Does this viola come fully set up and ready to play?
A: Yes, each Taishi Professional Viola is inspected and set up by our technicians before shipping. The bridge is fitted, and the soundpost is positioned correctly so you can start playing immediately.
Q: Are the strings pre-installed?
A: Yes, the viola arrives with a set of professional synthetic core strings already installed and tuned. They are high-quality strings suitable for both practice and performance.
Q: Is the case included hard or soft?
A: This model comes with a durable hard-shell case that provides excellent protection against bumps and temperature changes. It features a plush interior and storage compartments for your bow and rosin.
Q: What is the difference between the 397mm and 420mm body lengths?
A: The body length determines the size of the instrument and its tonal depth. The 397mm (approx. 15.5 inches) is suitable for younger students or players with shorter arms, while the 420mm (approx. 16.5 inches) offers a deeper, richer tone and is designed for adult players with a longer reach.
