The Westbury Viola Outfit - Various Sizes Available

Product Information

The Westbury Outfit Viola is an excellent choice for players who are moving beyond beginner instruments and require a more refined tone and greater responsiveness. Crafted from quality tonewoods, this viola features a hand-carved solid spruce top and a flamed maple back, ribs, and neck. The carefully shaped body ensures excellent resonance and projection, making it suitable for solo and ensemble playing alike.

Finished with a hand-applied antique varnish, the Westbury Outfit not only sounds superb but also boasts a beautiful, traditional aesthetic. The ebony fingerboard and pegs provide durability and a smooth playing experience, while the professionally fitted bridge and high-quality strings contribute to the instrument’s clear, warm tone.

This viola is supplied as a complete outfit, including a well-matched bow and a protective case, ensuring that players have everything they need to continue their musical journey with confidence.

Viola Care Tips

To keep your viola in excellent condition and ensure it maintains its best sound, we recommend the following care tips:

• Storage: Store your viola in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity, as these can affect the wood.

• Cleaning: Wipe down your viola regularly with a soft cloth to remove dust and rosin build-up. Avoid touching the varnish with your fingers.

• String Care: Check your strings for wear and replace them when necessary. Avoid over-tightening, as this can stress the instrument.

• Bow Maintenance: Always loosen the bow hair after playing and re-hair the bow when needed to maintain smooth performance.
