This antique viola, size 15 1/2", is in excellent shape--no cracks, structurally perfect. It was just completely overhauled for set-up and adjustment, with a new bridge, fingerboard dressed, new soundpost, and new strings at Soroka Violin Shop. www.sorokaviolins.com
This German-made 64 year old viola is like brand-new but with 6 decades of seasoning and playing. It will outperform any new Chinese-made viola in it's price range, by far. It sounds beautiful and has been professionally set up in a real violin shop, rather than coming out of a box from a factory. Ideal for any student.
