Louis Carpini Viola Outfit
Available in sizes 15", 15.5", 16", 16.5"
A step up from the Ricard Bunnel these violas use the
highest quality tight grained spruce and more time taken
in the final carving to ensure deep, resonate sound. They
come pre-strung with professional quality Helicore strings.
The Louis Carpini Viola Outfit is an upgrade to the Ricard Bunnel in that it has more choice wood on the back, sides and top of the viola. The tight grained spruce has been aged for 7 years, in contrast to the Bunnels 4 year old top. More time has been taken in the final stages of carving to ensure better tone quality and projection. The bow has been upgraded as well. The frog is made from 100% Ebony and the eye is genuine mother of pearl. We are confident that you will be more than satisfied with the attention to detail and ease of playability that these violas have to offer. If you've gone to a local string shop to see what is available for the same price, you will be shocked at the quality that this instrument offers at such a low price.
