Plays Beautifully!

This is a Celestini (our own house brand) handmade 12" viola. This is the same size as a 1/2 violin and is intended for use by a student who is too small to handle a full size viola. Can be used for ages 7 to 10. Best to get a proper measurement from a string instrument teacher to determine the right size for the player. 

This model is solid wood; spruce top, maple back and ribs, real inlaid ebony purfling and a high gloss varnish finish. All fittings are made from ebony. We import these fine instruments from Asia and then completely rebuild them in our shop to the highest specifications. Fingerboards are recut, pegs are recut, new nuts, buttons, new strings and new bridges are cut from scratch to bring out the best in each instrument. This viola comes with a Brazilwood silver wound bow with real Mongolian horsehair, a deluxe case fitted for backpack straps and a full shop Warranty. Our Celestini brand violin plays with a bright clear tone. All solid wood instruments will continue to play better and better with time. This has been one of our most popular violins for elementary school and Suzuki students. 

We treated this beautiful instrument with a ToneRite vibration treatment for about a month. This vibration treated keeps the instrument vibrating as though it were being played. These treatments improve the tone and response of any stringed instrument. ToneRite units are also for sale here in the store
