With a limited number of instruments produced yearly, the fine workmanship is very apparent both tonally \u0026amp; in appearance with each proudly-made instrument.\nThis range is designed for Australian makers, luthiers and specialists in mind as each instrument is supplied as ‘bare bones’ to be set-up and presented to our market uniquely reflecting the character and preferences of each Australian luthier. This typically includes the use of the best componentry: pairing of European strings, high-grade French bridges, German Wittner Ultralight Tailpiece etc.\nInstruments are supplied in a ‘bare-bones’ format with just ebony pegs and ebony fingerboard and are available in 3 grades that relate directly to tone-wood selections.","brand":"Makers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51901426991389,"sku":"38327PT","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/2092\/9309\/files\/38327PT.webp?v=1782122338","url":"https:\/\/scarlettmusic.com.au\/products\/makers-ii-viola-a-grade-15-5in-hand-crafted-instrument","provider":"Scarlett Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
