$1,720
SHIPPING OFFERED
Very Beautiful viola, a precise copy of Giovanni Paolo Maggini Contralto 16.25” Viola. Arching and f holes are very accurate as original viola. Very beautiful scroll. High quality Spruce and Maple. Oil varnish. Very subtle shading. Label reads: MA ZHIBIN Workshop, Made by Ma Zhibin Anno 2020 (~AUD1,500), professional level instrument. Absolutely wonderful tone quality. Comes with a very wonderfully balanced Pernambuco bow (~AUD500) and a beautiful spare bow (~AUD350), plus a spare A Eudoxa string, a titanium Wolf note eliminator/tone enhancer (enriches the Harmonics and balances the instrument) by Andre Theunis of Belgium (PAT. BE 10 19 457) [~€132.76/AUD220]. Also include a viola case. It also, if you would like, comes with two fitted bridges and a Pernambuco tailpiece from the famous Don Schmidt’s workshop, fitted to this viola with a Kevlar tailgut (~AUD150), if you prefer to experiment with a changed sonority of the instrument, both, the current setting and the one you can attain with one of the other bridges or the current one and the Pernambuco tailpiece, are beautiful, only the timbre of the sound would be different…which one is more suitable for you is the matter of your preferences for the performance. The strings are new (~AUD250). All the settings were done by a marvellous professional luthier.
