Great Sound, Heavy Case

The viola itself is a 5-star product with amazing depth of sound. I only deducted one star because the included case is quite heavy, though very protective. The instrument itself is flawless.

Professional Quality at a Fair Price

I have played on violas costing three times as much that did not resonate this well. The setup was excellent out of the box, and the response in the lower register is incredibly smooth.

Exceeded My Expectations

As a luthier myself, I am very critical of handmade instruments. This viola shows exceptional grain selection and arching. The balance between the A and C strings is remarkable.

My New Solo Instrument

I bought this for solo repertoire, and it cuts through the orchestra beautifully. The tiger stripes catch the stage lights wonderfully. Highly recommend for advancing students or pros.

Stunning Visuals and Rich Tone

The tiger striping on the back is absolutely breathtaking in person. Beyond the looks, the tone is warm and projecting, perfect for my chamber group performances. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail.

Beautiful Instrument, Needs Break-in

Gorgeous instrument with a powerful sound. It felt a bit stiff initially, but after two weeks of playing, the wood has opened up significantly. The varnish feels authentic and not too thick.

5 FAQ

Q: Is the bridge fitted or unfitted?

A: The viola ships with a high-quality Despiau Superieur bridge blank. It is unfitted to allow your local luthier to customize the height and curvature to your specific preference.

Q: Can I return this if the tone doesn't suit me?

A: Yes, we offer a 14-day home trial period. The instrument must be returned in its original condition with all packaging intact for a full refund.

Q: How long does shipping take to the US?

A: Shipping typically takes 5-7 business days via insured express courier. All instruments are fully insured during transit against loss or damage.

Q: What is the scale length of this instrument?

A: The vibrating string length (scale) is approximately 370mm, which is standard for a 16-inch viola body size.

Q: Does this viola come with a bow and rosin?

A: This listing is for the viola only. We recommend selecting a separate professional bow that matches your playing style. Rosin is not included.
