Perfectly selected tonewoods
Each and every WA410 viola is handcrafted by Hidersine's master luthiers. Although they all share common specifications, each WA410 viola is individually handmade and is therefore truly unique.
To ensure the Hidersine WA410 produces the best possible tone, it is made from the tried and tested combination of flamed Maple and straight-grained Spruce. These woods produce a focused and powerful sound with plenty of body which will continue to improve over time. Once assembled, the Hidersine viola is finished with a lovely oil varnish.
Having top-quality fittings are essential for professional violists. Not only do they increase the overall durability of the instrument, but they can also add an artistic flair to your instrument. It will come as no surprise to learn the Hidersine viola has an Ebony fingerboard - an essential for professionals. The pegs, tailpiece, and chinrest are also made of Ebony. What's more, the WA410 viola includes a European flamed Maple bridge to enhance your tone.
Included accessories
The Hidersine WA410 viola comes as an outfit to ensure you have everything you need. The included Hidersine viola case is perfectly suited for gigging musicians. The styrofoam body boasts a sleek black finish while also being lightweight and durable. The blue fleece inner lining absorbs impact from bumps when in transit and protects your viola's finish.
The Thomastik Dominant strings are regarded as the industry standard for musicians worldwide. Featuring a multi-strand synthetic core, they produce the warm and rich tones expected from a gut string. The Thomastik strings are impervious during humid conditions so you are free to play wherever your music takes you. The sounds that the strings produce are soft and clear, with a stable intonation.
The included Dorfler no.7 viola bow is an excellent first bow for beginners or secondary bow for more seasoned players. The perfectly balanced round stick is made from quality bulletwood and sits perfectly in your hand. To ensure the no.7 bow always sings, Dorfler uses the highest quality bow hair. By exclusively using natural white hair from selected steppe horses in Central Asia, you can rest assured that your bow hair will last much longer than cheaper bows.
