Professional 16.5-inch Handmade Viola

The 16.5-inch handmade viola is a remarkable instrument, favoured by professional musicians for its rich, deep tones that are slightly more resonant and full-bodied than its smaller counterparts. Handmade violas, such as the Gliga Vasile Professional Series, are crafted with meticulous attention to detail, often featuring highly flamed and naturally aged sycamore maple for the back, neck, and ribs, and close-grained Carpathian resonance spruce for the top. These instruments are aural delights and visual masterpieces, with special attention given to the deeply etched scroll and the lustrous hand-applied varnish. The ebony fittings, often in the Hill style with white accents, add a touch of elegance and sophistication, while the oil varnish enhances the instrument’s sound quality and durability. For those seeking a modern twist, carbon fibre violas offer impressive projection and warmth, with the added benefit of durability and resistance to environmental changes. Whether opting for a traditional wooden viola or a contemporary carbon fibre model, each 16.5-inch viola promises a unique playing experience, tailored to the demands of advanced musicianship.
