Frequently Asked Questions
It's generally warmer and slightly less brilliant than some of the more 'modern' sounding German violas; the tonewood selection leans toward a traditional aesthetic.
The natural resin varnish is beautiful, but it's softer than some modern finishes and benefits from careful handling and occasional cleaning to prevent build-up.
Larsen strings are pre-installed, but they're a very popular choice and easily replaceable with any other brand you prefer.
