James William Robinson 17" Viola Sydney 2017
This viola has a beautiful open and balanced sound, with plenty of colour to offer and a wonderful resonance. This can partly be attributed to the instrument’s larger dimensions. Despite its size, this viola still feels well-proportioned and relatively easy to navigate when playing.
This viola has a beautiful open and balanced sound, with plenty of colour to offer and a wonderful resonance especially on the G- and C-strings. This can partly be attributed to the instrument’s larger dimensions. Despite its size, this viola still feels well-proportioned and relatively easy to navigate when playing. This viola would suit advanced and professional players who can accommodate for the slightly larger instrument size.
