This French antique viola was made by Didier Nicolas in 1880. Hand-crafted from solid tone woods, the viola has a bright, mature tone and resonant sound. It also features accurately cut sound holes and delicately inlaid purfling. The D. Nicolas workshop was one of the most successful stringed instrument makers in Mirecourt, the French capital of violin making, and Didier himself was renowned for his skills and expertise.
This instrument comes with a velvet padded protective hard case for easy transportation to rehearsals. Additionally, the viola has been fitted with easily playable Thomastik Dominant viola strings which have a highly flexible, multi-strand synthetic core, giving the strings their distinct tonal warmth and feel of gut.
