Frequently Asked Questions
Spirit varnish is softer than some modern finishes, so careful handling is needed, but it ages beautifully with a unique patina.
The craftsmanship is good for the price; expect some minor cosmetic imperfections, but the instrument is fundamentally well-made and playable.
The 16.5’ size offers a slightly deeper, richer tone than a smaller 15’ viola, but the smaller body may provide slightly less projection.
