If you are new to band instruments, we have some great knowledge on what to look out for when buying a viola! If you don't find what you are looking for on our site, please give us a call at (210-224-1010) Downtown or (210-525-1010) Babcock so that we can answer any questions you may have!
For us to serve you better, please consult your band director on the
preferred instrument so that we can get you the perfect instrument to satisfy everyone!
First: New, Used, or Rent? We offer all three choices. New is more reliable, sounds great, just costs a little more. Used is perfect for anyone starting out. Rent is also good for those who are not sure what instrument they would like to play. I am pleased to say that we offer all three choices.
Second: Size? Customers have the option of a 15, 14, 13 or 12 inch viola. The correct size for each student depends on the arm length and overall size of the student. Generally speaking, by the time students reach 6th or 7th grade, most will require a full size or 15 inch viola. Before that age, students should be measured by a music teacher to determine the correct instrument.
