Cremona SVA-130 Premier Novice viola 16" (40.5cm) Ready to Play

The Cremona SVA-130 Premier Novice is a 16" viola set specifically designed for beginning violists seeking a solid, well-sounding instrument without compromising quality. This viola is handcrafted entirely from solid spruce and maple, finished in a warm, transparent DS brown lacquer. The ebony fingerboard and fittings provide durability and playing comfort, while the instrument is precisely adjusted with correct string height, spacing, and neck arch for optimal fingering and intonation.

The set is complete and ready to play, including a balanced Anton Breton AB-112V Brazilwood bow and a sturdy, lightweight nylon-lined case for safe storage and transport. The composite tailpiece with four fine tuners makes tuning easy and accurate. This viola is an excellent choice for students who want to progress in their musical journey with a reliable and well-built instrument.

Cremona violins are perfectly comparable in sound and build quality to the well-known Stentor violins, but offer a significant advantage: every Cremona violin is fully set up by an experienced luthier. This means the instrument is delivered ready to play, with carefully adjusted bridge, fingerboard, post, and strings – exactly as it should be.

This personalized setup not only ensures a comfortable playing experience from the very first note, but also optimal tone and intonation. Ideal for both beginning and advanced violinists who want to get off to a good start.
