Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The 16.5-inch VA401 Ivan Dunov step-up viola outfit is made in a traditional Romanian workshop from select Carpathian tonewoods. It pairs a carved Romanian spruce top with carved Romanian maple back and sides, using traditional workshop methods throughout construction. An antique-style, multi-layer spirit varnish provides its finished appearance while supporting the model’s sound and playability. The specified setup includes an ebony fingerboard, Despiau 1 Tree bridge, and BA302 woven carbon-fiber bow.
