14" Handmade D Z Strad Viola model 400 made by handmade by prize winning luthiers

While buying a viola online can be challenging, we are so confident in the extremely high quality of D Z Strad instruments that we decided to list these instruments anyways knowing that you will be thrilled with your purchase. These are top of the line violas made by incredibly talented luthiers especially for discerning string players.Each viola is made from a two piece maple back and solid carved spruce top, and is hand-rubbed with antique varnish. The wood is naturally dried outside on a covered, ventilated area for 20 years. The wood is then placed into a drying room, consistent with old world traditional European practices. This process ensures that the wood will not open or expand, and guarantees stability.
