The new Adagio II series violas offer a beautiful student violin paired with expert setup and high quality strings to make viola playing enjoyable and pleasant from the start.
The newly released 2025 Adagio II violas showcase high-quality tonewoods and a significant upgrade: all ebony fittings, including pegs, fingerboard, and endpin button.
We remain committed to our mission of providing top-quality instruments. These violas are perfect for beginner violists, offering the ideal starting point for their musical journey at an affordable price.
Why are the Adagio II violas so suitable for beginners?
A key feature of our Orion brand remains unchanged: every viola is hand-set up in Australia for superior quality control. This includes precision adjustments to the bridge carving, soundpost positioning, and nut height. Additionally, we replace the standard strings with a premium $95 set of Armonico Vento synthetic core strings, delivering a warm, rich tone.
Our Australian luthiers and apprentices ensure every viola is expertly prepared so that every player has an equal opportunity to enjoy a well-made instrument.
The term "outfit" means this viola comes complete with a case and bow. It includes an oblong (rectangular) case with plenty of pocket space and a wooden bow with an ebony frog.
Available from 12" to 16" sizes.
