Exceptional resonance and depth

The 80mm side plates truly make a difference in the lower register. The sound is rich, warm, and projects beautifully in our chamber ensemble. Craftsmanship is top-notch.

Beautiful instrument, needs setup

The wood quality is stunning and the thick sides give it a unique cello-like warmth. It arrived needing a minor bridge adjustment, but once set up, it sings.

Solid construction, great tone

Very impressed with the density of the wood and the finish. It took a few days to open up, but now the tone is balanced across all strings.

Conservatory grade quality

As a music teacher, I have played many violas in this price range. This handcrafted piece rivals instruments costing twice as much. Highly recommended for serious players.

Deep, projecting sound

The thickened sides allow for a very powerful sound without being harsh. It responds well to both gentle bowing and aggressive playing styles.

Worth every penny for a pro instrument

I upgraded from a factory model to this Changxiang viola, and the difference is night and day. The solid wood construction provides incredible stability and tone.

5 FAQ

Q: Is the varnish oil-based or spirit-based?

A: We use a traditional hand-rubbed oil varnish that enhances the resonance of the solid wood and protects the instrument while allowing it to breathe.

Q: Can this be used for orchestral auditions?

A: Absolutely. Many of our customers use this model for conservatory entrances and professional orchestra auditions due to its projection and tonal complexity.

Q: How long does the handcrafting process take before shipping?

A: Since each instrument is handcrafted with thickened 80mm side plates, please allow 3-5 business days for final inspection and setup before shipment.

Q: What size viola is this? Is it 16.5 inches?

A: This specific model is crafted as a 16.5-inch back length viola, which is standard for most adult professionals. Please confirm your preferred size before ordering.

Q: Does this instrument come with a case and bow?

A: This listing is for the instrument only. We recommend purchasing a high-quality hard case and a separate professional bow to match the conservatory grade of this viola.
