Viola of great quality
5/5

It was bought nearly two years ago for my daughter, now in her first year of orchestra, and we have been happy ever since. The price is reasonable as it's not among the low quality instruments, but not at the low end either. You will save much more money by buying this instrument than renting one. Our condo has not required any maintenance in the two years we've owned it, and if we had to rent it, we would have had to pay $35/month, which means we've made our money back several times already. There were many low quality instruments in the class - I was concerned When I bought a violin far too cheap, I got burned But this is definitely not an instrument like that. Having a good tone and being a simple instrument to play makes this a great choice. As soon as my daughter reaches high school, we will buy her a better instrument, but this one will do for grade school and middle school.

The design now appeals to me
4/5

Having recently started playing the violin again with a very casual string group, I have gotten back into playing. Since the group does not have a viola, I decided to buy one so that we can play quartets together. In the process of tuning my first viola, I broke It was impossible to keep the neck in place because the glue (or something else) broke. I was so grateful to Amazon that they replaced the item right away. So far, the current one I have has been excellent so far. Hopefully that was just a fluke. My first impression is that it sounds great and I am having a great time playing Since I am playing at a good level, it is much more enjoyable for me to listen to the viola than try to reach high notes on my violin. There is a problem with the set up, since it comes with the bridge down. You will need If you are interested in learning how to do this, please look up a how-to article before getting started You just want to ensure that you do the right thing. If you want to learn how to play viola this one is a good one to get started without having to spend much.

I am very pleased with the student viola
5/5

My son's 10th birthday is coming up, and I wanted to buy him a Viola. He has just received his first instrument. I found the price to be excellent and it was about 1/3 of the cost of renting a viola through the local string store. Our research online helped us to decide where to place the bridge and how to The tuning of all but one of the strings was made possible by using my electronic guitar tuner. My last string was tuned on a piano as well. taking two to three hours to place the bridge, tighten the string stings and tune the viola took about half an hour. When I looked up "bridge" and "tuning a viola", I found step-by-step instructions. Instructions on how to do it online. The size of this viola is correct for my son, and we found out online how to find the correct size before choosing this size. My son has been playing this viola for one month now. It's a hit with him! Apparently, the instrument he has is the most wonderful instrument in the Viola section at his school because it has extremely good fine tuners and a very good This is a very highly recommended instrument if you are looking for a good Besides the bow, case and music book compartment, this Viola comes with the accompanying bow, case, rosen and case. The purchase we made has been very satisfying for us.

I had hoped for a good result! She has been asking for this since the age of 11
5/5

I was impressed with how well it sounded for such an inexperienced My ear wasn't stressed over it holding its tune and my daughter wasn't concerned that it would be damaged. Despite wear and tear, the strings and fingerboard hold up There is nothing I can complain about. In such a way, it did its job in providing a bridge until she could get a full-size.

It sounds strange when old strings are played
3/5

A teacher who listened to the strings told us that two of them sounded old and strange. A new set of strings cost us one hundred dollars.

Viola that you can find at the worst price
3/5

I believe it is not worth the money because it is a cheap viola. There were cheap wires attached to the strings that made a horrible When my daughter saw this viola, she became so upset and disappointed that it took me an hour to console her. Despite the fact that I would have certainly helped if the strings had been replaced, I did not want to try that at all. Returning it the next day, I got a new brand for just a few more dollars.
