Gorgeous Visuals and Sound

The natural tiger striping is even more striking in person. It responds quickly to bow changes and handles complex passages with ease. Highly recommended for serious players.

Great projection and comfort

As someone with longer arms, the 16-inch size is comfortable. The sound carries well in large halls. The only reason for 4 stars is the shoulder rest could be slightly more padded, but that's a personal preference.

Excellent Value for a Handmade Instrument

I was skeptical about buying a viola online, but this exceeded my expectations. The setup was perfect out of the box, and the included bow is surprisingly good quality.

Perfect upgrade from my student viola

This 16-inch model has a deep, warm alto voice that my old instrument lacked. The ebony fittings are well-fitted, and the case provides great protection for travel.

Beautiful instrument, minor setup tweak needed

The wood quality is exceptional and the finish is smooth. I had to adjust the bridge slightly to my preference, but once done, it plays like a dream. Very happy with this purchase.

Stunning Tone and Craftsmanship

The tiger stripe pattern on the back is absolutely gorgeous. More importantly, the sound is rich and projects beautifully in our chamber group. The single-piece back really seems to add resonance.

5 FAQ

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

A: Yes, every instrument is inspected and set up by our luthiers before shipping. The bridge, soundpost, and strings are adjusted so you can start playing immediately upon arrival.

Q: What type of case is included with the viola?

A: It includes a durable hard-shell case with a plush velvet interior, multiple accessory compartments, and backpack straps for easy carrying.

Q: Do you offer a warranty on handmade instruments?

A: Yes, all our handmade violas come with a one-year warranty covering structural defects and craftsmanship issues. Normal wear and tear or damage from accidents are not covered.
