D'Luca CA400VA-12 12-Inch Orchestral Series Handmade Viola Outfit

There was a great deal on this instrument that I could not believe. The last time I played was years ago (and I used to play professionally) but I gave it up because of my a while, I've wanted to get back into music again and start teaching my kids, so I bought a new viola to get back into the rhythm again. The previous instrument I used to play professionally is long gone (long story). Due to my single status, I cannot spend a fortune on musical instruments, and instruments from China are not known to be good. I felt a difference when I played the viola. A few weeks ago, I found this website and decided to take a chance and buy. (Best case scenario, I can return it if I don't like The opportunity was so valuable that I am so glad I took it. Compared to the cost of the viola, the case is worth more. As well as upgrading the strings to Dominants (my preference), I upgraded the Other than that, it is received as is. Its beauty goes without saying that the viola is magnificent. When I first received it I polished it immediately and spent the first evening reacquainting myself with the curves and planes. I have played much more expensive instruments, and this one has an equally rich and deep tone. It's a pleasure to play all the strings from the bridge since it is perfectly sized. While the bow has enough weight for me, I would probably upgrade to a longer bow (again, depending on my You cannot possibly go wrong with a student instrument if you are in the market. Since I'm an advanced level player (with a degree and everything), I enjoy it a lot.

Besides being out of tune, it also smelled like the varnish was still drying, so it hadn't got fine tuners. If you were paying for the bow and case, it might have been ok, but serious students will not appreciate Certainly that was our opinion, the other reviews described the product as being amazing, perhaps we were expecting.

This was updated Despite the fact that I gave it a one-star review, the only reason is shipping. I may be able to update my review (I have done) if I can fix the problems (solved by the use of our viola that is older). It was not possible for me to add the photos through the application (I added through the web), but if I can I will do so. Also, there were an order issue as well, but it was solved, so thanks be to God I have the viola now. The order was placed on the 5th of March with One Day Shipment as a prime member but was delivered on the The estimated delivery date for the March order was 9th of March before ordering, but it became 13th of March after ordering. In the end, I received it on the 12th of March inside the country. At the moment, I am attempting to solve problems with my ( Shame on you, Amazon! This is what has happened regarding A great sound can be heard from it. This is the kind of book that my son loves. The older one he had was a used one (I may mention that we don't have experience with a new one) and one cannot even compare the two. D'Luca is a really great artist. It is easy for me to recommend it.

My son loves the look of this viola, and I love it too. A week ago he rented the one he used at school, and this one sounds much better. It has compartments for accessories on the inside and a luxurious velvet case (on the outside). Despite the fact that it doesn't come with a fine tuner, I contacted the manufacturer and they sent one free of charge. The product quality is excellent, and I am very satisfied with the product support. Some of the strings were changed (steel, not prelude), which improved the sound even more. My recommendation would be to strongly consider it.

There will be two parts, the second of which will focus on assessing the quality of craftsmanship after a few
Her opinion on this instrument is important to me, since my daughter is an aspiring violist. This model is about as good as a used Maggini model she bought for $1500 at a local violin retailer. A good tonal quality along with a very good projection, also described as crisp, characterize this podcast. I think a better set of strings may be in order since one of the strings squeaks badly. Her comparison between the bridge and the case is that the bridge is on the thin side, and she appreciates that it includes a humidifier, which she might have been unsatisfied with before. You can make a bow from wood. I am not certain about the horsehair and resin, which might make the squeak issue worse. It arrived in an excellent condition and on time.

This is an excellent value for the price considering that the instrument craftsmanship is the main concern, and buying an un-customized instrument is not a good deal. I saw it.

I find this viola to be well made at a price that is reasonable.

The 117 dollar price tag is good.
