  An Instrument for Every Musician

  More and more violists - professionals, amateurs, beginners, classical fans, crossover musicians - are convinced and play our carbon viola. Whether acoustic or amplified, whether in a small room at home or in a concert hall, the carrying, assertive tone shines in every environment. Additionally, the C-string has a surprising volume for the size of the instrument, and that with a pleasantly playable scale length.

  ANS Pickup System: Absolute Natural Sound

  The ANS pickup system is among the best currently available on the market. ANS stands for "absolute natural sound," and it lives up to its name. The jack socket (passive) is firmly built into the left rib, allowing the instrument to be quickly and easily connected to an amplifier. The system does not affect the acoustic sound in any way!
