The Louis Carpini Viola, with its unique oil finish and gorgeous tone, is available in 13", 14", 15", 15-1/2", 16", and 16-1/2" sizes. Perfect for advancing students to intermediate players, this beautiful instrument offers truly amazing craftsmanship at an outstanding price. The Louis Carpini model is also available for contract-free rental at our competitive rates.
What makes the Louis Carpini Viola a step up from basic beginner models is the higher quality of woods, fittings, and detail work put into the instrument. Each of these investments improves the quality of the sound and increases playability.
Like 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.
Our Louis Carpini Violas are strung with steel-core D'Addario Prelude Strings. These strings enhance the sound, projection, and tone of this great instrument, trumping the tinny, brash tone of generic strings normally provided by other instrument suppliers. These high-quality Prelude Strings are provided and professionally installed at no extra cost. Optional upgrades to even higher-quality strings are also available with free installation.
