Description

Crafted with precision and a deep reverence for classical craftsmanship, the Yamaha VA 7SG 16 Viola 16" is a testament to both quality and artistry. This viola, inspired by the iconic Stradivari design, is meticulously hand-made using hand-selected woods, ensuring a rich and expressive sound that resonates with both performers and listeners. The solid spruce top and solid maple back not only contribute to its robust tonal quality but also its durability, making it a long-term companion for both seasoned musicians and enthusiastic beginners.

Adorned with an oil-lacquer finish, this viola not only looks stunning under stage lights but also enhances the natural acoustics of the instrument. The ebony fingerboard and chinrest provide a smooth and comfortable playing experience, allowing you to focus solely on your musical expression. Equipped with a Wittner Ultra tailpiece featuring fine tuners, it offers precise tuning capabilities, ensuring that your performances are always pitch-perfect.

Every detail, from the Aubert-type bridge to the included case, bow, and rosin, has been thoughtfully considered to provide a seamless experience. Whether you're playing in an intimate setting or a grand concert hall, the Yamaha VA 7SG 16 Viola is bound to make an impact.
