Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
This Electrola from Bodo Vosshenrich is a unique beast. The aluminum body design completely solves feedback issues, making it ideal for gigging viola players. While the tone isn't as complex as some, it’s surprisingly musical and well-suited for modern classical, experimental music, or even amplified folk – a great option for someone prioritizing stage-readiness and a distinctive voice.
