Scherl And Roth Viola Free From BlemishesPayment Returns Product Specs Listed 4 days ago Condition Excellent (Used) Excellent items are almost entirely free from blemishes and other visual defects and have been played or used with the utmost care. You can have the strings changed if necessary (I really like Helicore), and you can get a new bow to go with it. In the hands of a teacher, it sounds good, but after many years of playing, I still have trouble making it sound consistently good. Ive tried adjusting bow angle, pressure and proximity to bridge to no avail. I just ordered a Coda Aspire bow and Tartini Silk Rosin in hopes that a bow change would make a difference. I was wondering if it was worth taking it to a lutherie to have it adjusted or is this just a cheap student viola and I probably would be better served buying a nicer one Anyway of telling the quality of my current viola The are two labels inside the f-holes. The one under the C string says Facobus hand-made, Horsteiner reproduction, Antonius Stradivarius. The other says Scherl Roth Shop Adjusted, model E29 (16), 1980. If this turns out to be a cheapo student grade instrument, can you give me some advice for selecting a decent calibre viola appropriate for a non-professionalnon-music major that has played decently at the college level. Is 1500 an appropriate price range Can you recommend some brands (e.g. Scott Cao brand swstrings.com Thanks. Have you thought of changing the strings, for example As for a new one, I consider Gligas to be unbeatable at anywhere near the price. Lzi. Also, a lot of times you will hit sour notes because the soundpost or bridge is crooked - have a luthier check it out. Get the bow rehaired as well (about 40) and make sure its not cracked. A solid piece back is a very good sign that its a decent instrument - that is a rare feature and can either make or break the quality. Sherl and Roth adjusted is typically found on student intstruments, but nonetheless I think you have yourself a decent viola When you do play an open string use lots of pressure on the bow (use your whole arm) and notice: does the whole instrument vibrate If you can vibrato, does it produce a clear tone, or does it wolf on the lower register Student instruments tend to be very scratchy and not at all forgiving, when you play one you get the feeling that the sound is stuck in the instrument. ![]() Look at the varnish as a whole - does it have its own charecteristics or look very plastic Another good indication of a student grade instrument are four fine tuners instead of just the one on the A string. This is not a solid indication as some violists will set it up that way on purpose, but it is a good generalization. I too have a Gliga viola - gliga vasile which I was warned against because it is a Romanian instrument (they are know for student grade, not high quality). However it really caught my eye and my ear, and it has been a very very good viola. So, those are definitly a good investment for intermediats because you get a lot for your money. Though your viola sounds just fine 1500-2500 is a perfect price range Its above a beginner but leaves plenty of room for advancement. You can tell if its a good instrument if it has a two-piece back (thats not ALWAYS true), if it has striping (if your instrument has it, youll know), if the finish is nice (not sticky or weird looking). Id imagine that if your instrument sounded good to you in the hands of a professional many years ago, you simply werent good enough yet to hear the difference between a decent and a truly good instrument. ![]() Youll want to try several, and take them home for a week or so to really get used to.
