Maple Leaf Strings Chaconne Craftsman Collection Viola 16.5 in.

The Chaconne Craftsman Collection viola from Maple Leaf Strings features hand-carved boxwood fittings with a decorative cherub tailpiece and matching pegs that pay homage to J.B. Vuillaume, who first crafted detailed fittings for instruments made by the Italian masters. This viola is conceivably a beginner's instrument, and is available in full or abbreviated sizes for that reason. However, it is truly aimed at the advancing student, as it has features rarely found in student instruments. The decorative appointments instill a pride of ownership and personal touch that will surely inspire practice and improvement.

With ebony fingerboard, tailpiece, chin rest and fittings along with a seasoned maple neck, flamed maple back and sides, and a seasoned spruce top, the wood combination in this instrument are beautiful to behold and to hear. Select a size that fits your needs.
