Introducing the German viola of the Caussin school c.1900 outfit

Made by De-Lorenzi in 1862, this viola was hand-crafted from quality tonewoods. It features an attractive spalted maple back with a light curl to the centre joint of the instrument. Finished in a light brown varnish, the table is in two pieces of spruce, with a medium grain broadening towards the flanks. Its warm and direct tone blends well in almost any situation, from chamber music to orchestral playing and solo work. It would also be an ideal upgrade instrument for those looking to progress through the higher grades.

This instrument comes with everything you need to get started, including a protective hard case for easy transportation to rehearsals, a good-quality bow, and rosin. 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.
