Best bang for your buck

I have played violas three times this price that did not sound as good. The response is quick, and the intonation is spot on up the fingerboard. A truly impressive instrument.

Beautiful instrument, slight setup delay

The viola itself is gorgeous and sounds fantastic. Shipping took a day longer than expected due to careful packaging, but it arrived safely. The bow included is decent for a starter kit.

Perfect upgrade from student model

This instrument has so much more depth and resonance than my previous factory-made viola. The C-string sings beautifully. Highly recommend for advancing students or semi-professionals.

Great value for a handmade instrument

I was skeptical about buying a viola online, but the setup was excellent. The ebony fittings feel solid and smooth. It needed a minor bridge adjustment after shipping, but otherwise ready to play immediately.

Stunning visual and rich tone

The tiger striping on this viola is absolutely breathtaking in person. The antique finish gives it a mature look that belies its affordable price. The sound is warm and projects well in my chamber group.

Excellent craftsmanship

You can tell this was made by hand. The purfling is clean, and the varnish feels authentic. The case included is surprisingly sturdy too. Very happy with this purchase.
