Hand-carved from seasoned spruce and maple, the Allegro produces a clear response and reliable projection for school orchestra, lessons, and daily practice.

Reviews
What owners of this viola are saying
Rated 5.0 out of 5 from 1 review of this viola. Quotes appear exactly as customers wrote them.
“As a middle school teacher in a public school, I needed an instrument to teach on — budgets are tight, and I'd been making do with something too small for too long. A student recently brought a Canzona violin to her lesson and it caught my attention. I hadn't heard of the brand or Atelier before, but the instrument was genuinely well made. That was enough for me to try one of their violas. This one is a step down from my student's, but it arrived quickly and set up nicely. For the price point, I was pleasantly surprised. I'll be recommending these to my students and their families — it's good to know there are solid, affordable options out there”
