Product Description
Cecilio violas are carefully hand carved. Each viola is meticulously graduated to exact specifications, ensuring a consistency of tone between individual pieces. The CVA-400 model features a hand carved solid spruce top and solid maple back and sides. It has a beautiful inlaid purfling satin finish and flamed back and sides. This is a complete set and comes with natural color rosewood pegs, chinrest, tailpiece and rosewood fingerboard. The rosewood tailpiece has 4 fine nickel plated tuners which is found in very expensive violas. The brazilwood bow comes with rosewood frog and unbleached genuine mongolian horsehair. That's not all; the set also includes the following: Lightweight form fitting hard case with pockets and strap, extra set of Viola Strings, quality rosin cake and extra violin bridge. Just the included accessories retail for more than $65. This is the best viola you can find at this price. Guaranteed!! And to make it even better it comes protected with a one year manufacturers warranty.

5 out of 5 stars Good Beginner's Viola   March 8, 2008
Rollo Temasi
I thought this was a great buy. I'm a beginner violist and needed a cheap viola to learn on. It was tough tuning the strings at first but if you put resin or peg drops on the peg holes it becomes easier. It's pretty light because the wood isn't that thick. It does the job though. Can't beat the price either!
