Glarry GVA201 Viola

Affordable 16-Inch Full Size Viola

This Glarry viola impresses with its price, making it a very affordable choice for students who have never played the viola before and want to try it for the first time. It is made of high-quality natural wood, ensuring a soft and deep sound quality, with a loud and stable tone. The 16-inch size is very suitable for adults and larger teenagers, providing comfortable fitting and an easy playing experience.

The Glarry viola comes with a high-quality hard case, a lightweight bow, and rosin, making this set particularly suitable for beginners.

It offers two finish options: Natural and Retrovert.

Glarry is known for providing affordable instruments with good quality and performance, specifically designed to meet the needs of beginner viola students, intermediate violists, and viola enthusiasts.

Reasonable prices that everyone can afford!

  • 1. Excellent Materials:

    Made from even-textured natural wood, it is easy to vibrate and quickly transmits sound, ensuring maximum resistance to deformation and cracking.

  • 2. Great Sound:

    The hand-carved Maple top and Basswood back and sides ensure a soft and deep tonality, with a sound that is both loud and stable.

  • 3. Comfortable Playing:

    The 16-inch size combined with fine craftsmanship and an Aluminium Alloy fingerboard, provides a perfect hand feel and a comfortable playing experience.

NOTE:

1. The bridge will not be pre-set to prevent damage during shipping.

2. The viola needs to be tuned each time before playing. When tuning, push the pegs inward to ensure they stay in place; sometimes extra force is needed to prevent the pegs from slipping.

3. The first time you use the bow, it needs to be rosined for 5 minutes (or 30-50 full passes). After every 4-6 hours of practice, reapply rosin to the bow.

4. After playing the viola, gently clean it with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth to remove rosin build-up on the strings and any dust, oil, or sweat.

Bridge Installation

Step 1

Loosen the strings slightly to avoid breaking them when placing the bridge.

Step 2

Align the notches on the bridge with all four violin strings.

Step 3

Hold the bottom of the bridge with both hands and stand it vertically on the panel.

Step 4

Place it in the middle of the F-holes and correspond to both notches horizontally of the "F" holes.

How to Adjust a Bow?

Pure horse hair

Adjust the tightness of the horse hair

The most curved part of the middle of the bow is about 0.4in from the hair

The bow can be used after being polished with rosin

As a mother of a beginner musician, I was worried when I bought this instrument because I have no knowledge of it. But end up been the best decision, this instrument has allowed to learn and express in beautiful melodies, is worth the money you will invest in it.

I have recently started playing again after 35 years. I needed something to do. I always loved playing when I was younger. This viola has great sound of you're just needing to learn or to just have one to play this is a great idea for sure.

This is not a professional viola, obviously. You're not paying for the expert craftsmanship and beautiful sound that you'd get from a 1k+ instrument. However, for the price, this is the way to go. Great for beginners!

The sounds are good and the manipulation is good! Is equipped with the needs, I can't think of anything wasn't ok with everything. Except the rosin isn't the best quality, is not great but is ok!. Overall is a great investment in the instrument with all the extras!

It plays beautifully and is nicely made for my son getting back into playing for enjoyment.

It's nowhere near a professional instrument, but it's great for what you're paying. I bought this to get back into it, and it's been great. Don't freak out if it doesn't stay in tune at first. It's been in storage, through temperature changes, and the postal service. It's going to have an adjustment period. Don't freak out when bow strings fall out, that's pretty normal. I'm honestly impressed.

The rosin was broken when I opened it and got everywhere. Besides that the purchase was good. It came in a beautiful color and was just the right size. I had a little difficulty tuning it but besides that it was perfect.
