Rich lower register

The C-string on this instrument is phenomenal. It has a deep, singing quality that I haven't found in other violas in this price range. Very happy with my purchase.

Exceeded expectations

I was hesitant to buy an instrument online without playing it first, but Changxiang delivered a masterpiece. The attention to detail in the scroll and purfling is stunning.

Exceptional tone for Baroque repertoire

This 15-inch viola has a incredibly warm and resonant sound that fits perfectly with my Baroque ensemble. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the flamed maple to the smooth ebony fingerboard.

Great professional instrument

I bought this for my conservatory exams and it performed beautifully. The setup was nearly perfect out of the box. Only giving 4 stars because the case included was a bit basic, but the instrument itself is top-tier.

Handmade quality shines through

You can really tell this is fully handmade. The varnish is gorgeous and the acoustic response is immediate. It projects well in large halls without sounding harsh.
