NS DesignNXTa Active Series Electric Viola in Sunburst 4/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The left-handed, full-size NXTa electric viola centers on a 16-inch viola string scale, a maple body, and a piezo-driven Polar Pickup System. A nearby switch selects heightened sensitivity for Arco or Pizzicato playing, while volume and tone controls keep adjustment close at hand. The bridge height can be set to suit your action preference. Its foam-padded Custom Shoulder Rest bends to the chest and shoulder, with height and angle adjustment available while you are in playing position. Active and passive output modes accommodate different rigs.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Left-handed viola players who need a full-size electric instrument with a 16-inch string scale.
- Players switching between bowing and plucking who want dedicated pickup-sensitivity selection.
- Amplified or recorded work using the instrument’s Polar Pickup System and dual-mode output.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Right-handed players, as this version is specified with left-handed orientation.
- Passive signal paths that lack a direct box or a high-impedance amplifier input.
