Perfect gift for my son

My son loves the look of the tiger stripe maple. It inspires him to practice more. The seller shipped it quickly and it arrived well-packaged with no damage.

Good starter viola

Solid construction and nice aesthetics. The strings are decent for stock strings, though I plan to upgrade them soon. Overall, a great step up from factory-made instruments.

Great value, needs professional setup

The wood quality is excellent for the price point. Just remember that the bridge comes uncut, so you will need to take it to a luthier for a proper setup. Once set up, it plays beautifully.

Beautiful tone for a student instrument

I bought this for my daughter who is transitioning from a rental. The tiger stripe pattern is stunning in person, and the sound is warm and resonant right out of the box. Highly recommend for advancing beginners.

Exceeded expectations

As an adult beginner, I wanted something that looked professional but wasn't too expensive. This viola checks all the boxes. The ebony fittings feel solid, and the case is surprisingly sturdy.

Lovely craftsmanship

The hand-rubbed varnish gives it a very authentic look. The projection is clear, making it easy to hear yourself while practicing. Very happy with this purchase.

5 FAQ

Q: Does this come fully set up and ready to play?

A: The viola comes with strings installed, but the bridge is uncut to prevent damage during shipping. We strongly recommend taking it to a local luthier for a professional setup including bridge fitting and soundpost adjustment.

Q: What size is this viola exactly?

A: This is a 15.5-inch viola, which is a common full size for adults and larger teenagers. If you are unsure about sizing, please consult with your teacher or measure your arm length.

Q: Is the case hard or soft?

A: It includes a lightweight oblong hard-shell case made of durable composite material. It features a hygrometer, storage compartment for rosin and bows, and backpack straps.

Q: Is there a warranty included?

A: Yes, this handmade viola comes with a 1-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Normal wear and tear or damage from improper setup are not covered.

Q: Can I exchange the strings for higher quality ones immediately?

A: Yes, absolutely. Many players choose to upgrade strings. Since the bridge is uncut, you can install new strings after the luthier has fitted the bridge to your specific playing style.
