Exceeded expectations
Arrived well-packaged and in perfect condition. The antique varnish gives it a classic look, and the tonal balance across all four strings is remarkably even.

Solid handmade quality
You can tell this is genuinely handmade by the attention to detail in the purfling and scroll. The setup was good out of the box, though I adjusted the bridge slightly.

Exceptional tone for the price
I have been playing viola for over 15 years, and this EUMASTER 5000 rivals instruments costing twice as much. The lower register is rich and resonant, perfect for chamber music.

Beautiful craftsmanship
The flamed maple on the back is stunning. It took a few days to break in the strings, but now the sound is warm and projecting well in my orchestra section.

Perfect upgrade from student model
Upgraded from a factory-made student viola. The difference in response and clarity is night and day. Highly recommend for advancing students or semi-professionals.
