CLEARANCE Louis Carpini Viola Outfit
The Louis Carpini Viola is our most advanced student-level viola, available in sizes 13", 14", 15", 15.5", 16", and 16.5". It is much more well-rounded than other student violas, with a warm voice and beautiful resonance. The smooth tone and full, ringing notes make the Louis Carpini a top choice for the advancing violist. Players love the rich sound and the gorgeous flaming on these instruments.
A step up from the Bunnel Viola, the Carpini Viola features a unique oil finish and gorgeous tone. Perfect for advancing students and intermediate players, this beautiful instrument offers truly amazing craftsmanship at an outstanding price. What sets this viola apart from other student violas is the higher quality of woods, fittings, and detail work put into the instrument. Each of these investments improves the instrument's sound quality and increases playability
Comparable to the Louis Carpini Violin, the Louis Carpini Viola is made with high-quality, tight-grained spruce for the face plate and strong, dense maple for the back plate. The greater attention to detail applied to the final carving and finishing of the body ensures a deeper, more projective, and more resonant sound.
Clearance instruments feature the sound quality and playability of our regular products, but have small cosmetic imperfections or a discontinued finish. Call 1-800-779-0242 with questions.
