An outstanding instrument for professionals and soloists, this fine Bristish-Italian soloist viola is an interesting and extremely powerful instrument in the classical Cremonese tradition which was made in 1976 in England. A premium piece by Adam Paul its musical history led it on a journey through Europe. The craftsman who produced this instrument showed a refined sense of both aesthetics as well as musical sensitivity. The two-piece back is made of exquisitely delicate and premium flamed maple, and the two-piece top of sophisticated spruce features an unusually even grain. Both were coated with an orange-brown varnish after a Cremonese receipe on a golden-brown base, emphasizing the quality of these outstanding tone woods as part of a harmonious entity. The corners and distinctive rounding of the upper bouts are the finishing touches to the inimitable character of this excellent viola, which has been kept in excellent condition and has undergone an acoustically insignificant minor repair to the lower part of the left soundhole. After having been carefully set up by the specialists at our workshop, this soloist viola is now ready to play. It is a compelling choice with a voice that is both warm and clear, carrying rich in overtones, radiance, and clarity. An outstanding viola - Our recommendation for professionals and soloist players. Delivered free of shipping costs, with a 30-day return policy and Corilon's trade-in guarantee.
