My 11 year old son needed a Viola for school this year and this was the perfect choice!! Not only was this a terrific price point for a starter set, but the instrument met all of his needs. The only thing that we had to replace during the year was a string – I am sure that this was due to the user and not to the quality of the instrument.
I would highly recommend this choice to anyone looking for a starter set for a school age child. 0

I bought this for my daughter who just joined orchestra at school and has decided to play the Viola. Well, it has been 2 years and she totally loves it. It works just fine. After two years, the case is starting to fray at the ends but with what it goes through with kids nowadays, I didn’t think it would last this long! Excellent product and would highly recommend this product.

This cost the same to buy as renting from the school for 2 years, and my kid might be playing it for longer than that. It is great for my 10-yr-old who’s learning viola at school. Came with a good, lightweight case, perfect for a kid. Also came with a bow, spare strings, rosin, and a tuner. We had to set the bridge in place and tune it, but otherwise it was assembled and ready to go. I recommend not using the tuner to tune it the first time unless you have experience with it. We couldn’t find the C note on the tuner and ended up breaking the string. Someone told me to look up viola tuning on the web and we found a site that made tuning easy. It’s a good way to tune–easier by ear than with the tuner the first time.
