The Harlequin viola features everything you need to start learning the viola. Unlike other violas at this price, the Harlequin viola is carved from solid wood compared to composite woods or laminates. The top of the Harlequin viola is spruce, while the back and sides of the viola are maple. This traditional combination of wood produces a focused sound with plenty of tonal warmth.
For an added touch of luxury, the Harlequin viola uses pegs crafted from high-quality black hardwood which is visually pleasing, while also being environmentally friendly. Once the viola has been completed, it is finished with a bright purple finish for an attractive appearance.
Fantastic value for money
The Harlequin range gives excellent value for money. It is a top choice for beginners or for schools and councils who are looking for an instrument that provides consistent quality and good value. It has become one of the most bought and recommended violas for schools and teachers.
Everything you need
Included with the Stentor Harlequin viola is a lightweight hard case with plenty of storage. For ease of use, the case includes a shoulder strap, so commuting is never an issue. Stentor has even included a transparent pocket for a name tag to ensure your viola never gets mixed up with others. The inside of the case can hold up to two different bows, and even features a small accessory pocket - ideal for your rosin.
Perfect for students, the included P&H fibreglass viola bow has been designed with durability at its core. Thanks to the fibreglass bow stick, the P&H viola bow offers a well-balanced playing experience, while also being much tougher than wooden bows. Unlike wooden bows, the P&H fibreglass viola bow won't warp or bend as it is resilient to extreme weather conditions. This is particularly desirable for musicians who frequently tour or live in damp climates.
Widely used by both teachers and students, the P&H viola bow uses unbleached natural white horsehair to produce the best possible sound. What's more, P&H purposefully manufacture their bows to be re-haired at home, meaning no more expensive trips to the workshop.
