Entry level Chinese violas have
dominated the world market in recent decades. This dominance is created by
the large number of highly skilled viola makers in China and the abundance of
quality wood from China's untapped forest. Both resources are unmatched by
any country in world. Leveraging off these valuable resources, China has
produced astonishing quality violas at great prices for the world's consumers.
This is a high quality student level
viola. Great value for students. The viola comes with ebony
fittings: tuning pegs and fingerboard. The ebony tuning pegs
and metal tailpiece with 4 tuners make tuning easy and trouble-free.
The ebony fingerboard provides solid playability and intonation control.
The bow is made out of high quality Brazilwood with horsehair providing good
sound volume and playability. The wood shell case provides support and
protection to the viola and comes with backpack design - carrying viola to
lesson, school or orchestra practice is made easy.

-
Features hand carved fully graduated
high quality solid spruce viola top, maple viola back, sides, neck, and scroll - no cheaper laminated wood or hardwood used on this
viola
-
Viola
side and back are made
with flamed maple. Flamed is a term used to describe the amount of
grain (wood pattern) in maple. Using higher flamed maple to make the
side and back of the viola increases both aesthetics and value of the viola.
-
Real inlaid purfling on both the
viola top and back
-
Tuning pegs are made out of high
quality ebony wood for trouble-free tuning. Ebony is preferred over hardwood since it is more stable and less likely to slip causing
viola to go out of tune.
-
Fingerboard is made out of high
quality ebony for solid playability and intonation control. The hardness of ebony wood protects the fingerboard from denting by the fingernail. Dents on the fingerboard make it very difficult to play the
viola in tune.
