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

It's what you'd expect - functional, but you probably won't be playing it in the Boston Symphony. You get a good bang for your buck. My wife got this because she used to play 40+ years ago when she was young, so she's essentially a beginner again.

When we first opened the box the viola felt like it came from a lucky packet. The quality doesn't feel great, but the sound is fine. Good for beginners.

This was the good viola for my granddaughter who just begin her study. The only drawback was that the rosin was shattered.

Nicely made, decent tone, strings and rosin are not good though. Spent $30 on a set of new strings and it made a huge improvement. Definitely a good buy!

It does not have a full sound, and the bow is flimsy. But it is good for a very beginner who does not want to pay $800. Especially it's only $75! You get what you pay for. The case is nice.

This is my first viola and I love it. The sound is nice and warm and deep, (at least to my current ears...) I like it very much.

Delivered quickly, without damage, as advertised. I tuned it myself with a simple tuner. Sounds nice.
