Established by Violins Australia, they developed their violins with Nanjing Pty Ltd, an experienced strings maker workshop in China that have been providing a range of high-quality instruments for many years. VA developed their range wanting to have models with contrasting sound profiles and variance. One of the ranges the team at Nanjing produced is the Schroeder model, named after the German-American Cellist Alwin Schroeder. The models are bright and clear sounding with golden varnishes to emphasize the brilliance of the sound. These instruments are beautifully hand crafted in China and professionally set up by our luthiers in our Sydney workshop.
One of our most popular violas, the Schroeder #100 has an attractive red-brown varnish and boasts a broad sound with superb projection! It is perfect for players with a few years experience or for adult enthusiasts wanting a more focused sound. Its ebony pegs and modern tailpiece make tuning easier, eliminating the hassles normally associated with cheaper violas. The Schroeder #100 violas are most suitable for players at a fifth grade AMEB standard or below.
