  • Wood: Fine Russian spruce top and well-flamed maple back naturally air-dried for 5-10 years. 
  • Varnish: Hand-applied quality spirit varnish with a mildly antiqued finish.
  • Fittings: French-made Despiau one-tree bridge, Wittner-style tailpiece, and well-aged ebony pegs.
  • Strings: Alphayue or “Alpha” viola strings are a game-changing breakthrough design for advancing violists.  Brilliant in overtones with a full and dark fundamental sound, they respond immediately to the bow and provide beautiful projection and power.  They also offer a left-hand feel which is gentle and easy, break in quickly and stay in tune, are extremely sweat-proof and quite durable.
  • Professionally installed and 100% sound adjusted in the U.S. for reliable and comfortable playability and optimal sound.
