A beautiful viola made in Germany circa 1890 - 1920. One of the Dolling brands, it's a lovely instrument. This is one of the last professional level instruments,I will be selling here on Trademe.

If you are looking for a nice quality vintage viola with a $5000 plus tone, please do read on.

It produces a gorgeous, rich and sweet tone, very even, and suitable for various performing situations.

No cracks, no damage. Note the beautiful 1 piece back. There are a couple of minor cosmetic nicks, as seen in the pics, and expected on a genuine vintage viola of this age.

It's a smaller fuller size viola, one that is typically referred to as 15.5 inches or roughly 39. 5 cm.

I am including a good carbon fibre viola bow, a generic coda bow type, I recall that cost me about $500 a couple of years ago. It's good, quite light, in fact you could use this on viola or viola. Comes with a case.

As a professional violinist, I have enjoyed playing on this instrument, and it is relatively easy to switch between violin & viola.

You will really enjoy this viola. The strings are Helicore, it sounds very fine.

Item is as described / as seen in the pics.

Do choose carefully and ask any questions you may have. No returns, but I do stand by my description and the pics.
