PRACTICE VIOLAS

Ever felt like something missing in your viola?

Have you sometimes wanted to practice late at night without disturbing others, either at home or in a hotel room? Or wished for an instrument that could be packed into your suitcase? Or one that could safely be taken to the beach cottage and other places where you don ' t want to take your good viola? One of our take-apart practice/travel instruments may be just the thing. They have a subdued and pleasant tone. They will fit even into a backpack. Take-apart bows are also available.

We also make practice/travel violins and cellos.
