The Artista Viola Series brings together handcrafted European instruments, each with its own appearance and tonal voice. Individually made by master luthiers, these violas offer musicians a range of sounds and playing characteristics to explore.
The collection spans AA1 through AA10, with prices ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. As the series progresses, each model offers a different selection of materials and level of tonal refinement. AA1 violas are made with European tonewoods aged approximately 30 years, while the flagship AA10 features select European woods aged over a century.
From the warmth and responsiveness of the early models to the depth and expressive range of the highest levels, the Artista series offers choices for advancing musicians and professional performers. Because each viola is individually handcrafted, we encourage players to experience available instruments and find the voice that suits them best.
