The Carlo Amati Salita is a well-crafted advanced student viola, featuring a hand-carved spruce top and flamed curly maple back with professional hand-applied spirit varnish. The viola includes ebony fittings throughout - fingerboard, pegs, and chinrest - plus a Wittner tailpiece with four fine tuners.
This viola produces a warm, balanced tone with rich depth and good resonance across all registers. It's ideal for advancing students who have outgrown their beginner instrument and are ready to explore more nuanced musical expression. The instrument's responsive nature and consistent sound quality make it particularly well-suited for high school orchestra students and dedicated learners who want an instrument that will grow with their developing technique. The viola comes equipped with a durable nylon-covered plywood case with plenty of storage for accessories, and a carbon-graphite bow.
