The use of maple and spruce tonewoods is a tried and tested combination which is the go-to selection for producing higher quality violas. This combination of traditional materials helps to provide a powerful, focused and centred sound with plenty of body and tonal warmth - whilst also providing a strong and durable instrument. The woods are hand-selected based on their age, seasoned, and then hand-carved into works of art. This results in a viola that not only looks fantastic but one which is hard-wearing and able to allow the player to develop their own unique full-bodied sound.
Each Eastman Concertante Viola goes through a gold level set-up, which ensures that the instrument is fully ready to go once the performer receives it. D'Addario Helicore strings are crafted from the finest quality materials to ensure a fantastic playing experience. Long-lasting and reliable, with a rich, versatile tone, these strings are perfect for players from a wide range of backgrounds.
The instrument is completely stripped down and the nut is filed to the optimum height and spacing for the D'Addario strings and the instrument. This results in ease of play for the performer, whilst producing the maximum amount of resonance and projection that the instrument is capable of.
The Eastman Concertante viola comes with a Young deluxe oblong viola case which provides incredible protection for the viola whilst remaining incredibly lightweight and easy to carry. The Orchestra brazilwood bow with silver mountings provides a higher level bow of incredible quality to compliment the tonal characteristics of the Concertante Viola. Evenly balanced and light in weight, this bow completes the Concertante outfit.
