Frequently Asked Questions
The wider lower bout provides increased air volume, resulting in a noticeably stronger bass projection and overall more assertive tone.
The included bow is functional and suitable for beginners, but a higher-quality bow will significantly enhance the viola's responsiveness and tone.
Walter Mahr typically uses a traditional oil varnish, which allows the wood to vibrate freely, contributing to a warm, resonant tone and excellent projection.
