Glarry GVA201 Viola
Affordable 16-Inch Full Size Viola
This Glarry viola impresses with its price, making it a very affordable choice for students who have never played the viola before and want to try it for the first time. It is made of high-quality natural wood, ensuring a soft and deep sound quality, with a loud and stable tone. The 16-inch size is very suitable for adults and larger teenagers, providing comfortable fitting and an easy playing experience.
The Glarry viola comes with a high-quality hard case, a lightweight bow, and rosin, making this set particularly suitable for beginners.
It offers two finish options: Natural and Retrovert.
Glarry is known for providing affordable instruments with good quality and performance, specifically designed to meet the needs of beginner viola students, intermediate violists, and viola enthusiasts.
Reasonable prices that everyone can afford!
1. Excellent Materials:
Made from even-textured natural wood, it is easy to vibrate and quickly transmits sound, ensuring maximum resistance to deformation and cracking.
2. Great Sound:
The hand-carved Maple top and Basswood back and sides ensure a soft and deep tonality, with a sound that is both loud and stable.
3. Comfortable Playing:
The 16-inch size combined with fine craftsmanship and an Aluminium Alloy fingerboard, provides a perfect hand feel and a comfortable playing experience.
NOTE:
1. The bridge will not be pre-set to prevent damage during shipping.
2. The viola needs to be tuned each time before playing. When tuning, push the pegs inward to ensure they stay in place; sometimes extra force is needed to prevent the pegs from slipping.
3. The first time you use the bow, it needs to be rosined for 5 minutes (or 30-50 full passes). After every 4-6 hours of practice, reapply rosin to the bow.
4. After playing the viola, gently clean it with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth to remove rosin build-up on the strings and any dust, oil, or sweat.
