The climate conditions and soil properties from this region allow for trees to develop ideal resonance and sonic qualities. Only the finest wood will do, so master luthiers carefully choose all the wood for each component of the viola. Then once it's selected, aged, and seasoned, they meticulously craft the instrument using traditional European workshop methods. The end result is an exquisite-sounding instrument that looks attractive, feels comfortable to hold, and inspires you to put on a stunning performance.Impeccable attention to detail The Rudoulf Doetsch viola plays with a bold sound thanks to its exceptional craftsmanship and flawless details. Everything from the expertly carved scroll to the ebony fittings denotes its quality and lets you know this is an exemplary viola worth playing. Even the outside edges of its body are bordered with genuine hand-inlaid purfling, which adds charm and beauty while also protecting it from cracking. To round everything off, the Rudoulf Doetsch viola boasts an Antiqued Spirit Varnish that gives the instrument a picturesque look with old-world charm. These fine little details make all the difference, creating a viola that feels amazing to play!Eastman: crafting fine instruments since 1992 Accomplished flutist Qian Ni founded Eastman in 1992 after graduating from the Boston University School of Music. Similar to Sweetwater, Eastman started as a one-man operation, with Ni selling instruments out of the back of his car. Today, Eastman is a global maker of musical instruments, but they've never lost sight of their humble beginnings. Players — both students and professionals alike — searching for an instrument with outstanding sound, comfortable playability, and traditional craftsmanship will find exactly what they're looking for from Eastman.Eastman VA701 Rudoulf Doetsch Professional Viola Features: 16.5-inch professional viola Made from solid German tonewoods for exceptional tone and playability Hand-carved spruce top with flamed maple back and ribs Ebony fingerboard, pegs, chinrest, and tailpiece Antiqued Spirit Varnish for enhanced detail and beauty Set up with Pirastro Obligato strings SpecificationDetail Type Viola Size 16.5" Level Professional Finish Antiqued Spirit Varnish Top Material German Spruce Back & Sides Material German Maple Purfling Hand-inlaid Fingerboard Material Ebony Pegs Ebony Bridge Material Despiau 2 Tree Tailpiece Ebony Chin Rest Ebony Strings Pirastro Obligato Bow Sold Separately Case/Gig Bag Sold Separately RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
