Great instrument for the money.
By C. Hanson
I bought this instrument for my 12 year old daughter and it has been great. Her music instructor was quite surprised at how smooth the sound is and the quality of the bow that came with it. I would recommend it for a young student.

Good student viola for the price
By Gregory A. Martin, Jr
I bought this viola for my 5th grade daughter to play in her school's beginner orchestra because the school-provided instrument was too small and pretty bad quality. I've owned a Cremona boxwood violin for quite a while and found it quite playable, so I figured this viola would be fine for her. She is now taking lessons and has moved up to the "advanced" orchestra. Her teacher loves the sound of this viola, as do I. I actually expected her teacher to look askance at the viola, but in fact she thinks it's great. When strung with good perlon strings (Dominants), it has a really warm throaty tone.I would definitely recommend this viola for a beginning viola player. I'd have given it 5 stars, but the bow that comes with it is not great. The bow tends to be really skippy on the A-string; we've tried other bows and they were fine. I'd say if you get this viola and you get frustrated with the sound on the A-string, you could replace the bow with something better (a carbon fiber or pernambuco advanced student model) and you'd have a fine viola outfit.The strings that come with the viola are not great, so you'll want to replace those (again, I recommend the Dominants). The case is great with lots of room to store all your stuff and very protected of the viola.
