The Cremona SVA-175 Premier Student Series viola offers all of the performance characteristics, playability and durability a beginning violist could want. The SVA-175 is constructed of select tonewoods and quality workmanship for the finest possible tone, and is topped off with all NAFME/Music Educators National Conference-approved specifications. Each instrument has been upgraded to include a beautiful, translucent, warm brown finish, which lets the grain show through. It is crafted to be just as pleasing to the eye as it is to the ear.

To complete these outfits, the SVA-175 has been upgraded to include a Travelite oblong viola case with built-in hygrometer, and an exceptional LB-13 J. La Salle octagonal Brazilwood bow with ebony frog and genuine unbleached horsehair. Each instrument is setup to Cremona standards at their U.S. workshop.

    This was for my 12 year old niece, not me. She LOVES it. Her mom and I bought it for her and got a very good price for a good instrument.

  • I highly recommend this viola for anyone on a budget

    I'm a (28 year old) first time viola player, and am so far very impressed with this instrument. After figuring out that cell phone tuners are not good for violas, I was able to get it tuned properly and practice without a hitch. I practice every day and have not had any issues. It stays in tune, the sound is great, the strings are fine, the case is light weight and good quality, and the bow is plenty good. I'm no expert, but I couldn't see how an instrument could be much better. Certainly not for the price! Honestly, I see myself keeping this viola for a lifetime of playing.

    Deep rich sound after I replaced the strings with top brand strings and I also got a better bow. One could spend more money on a viola, but it would not improve the Sound.
