The Core SM20 Symphony Viola
The Core SM20155 Viola is a concert-level instrument designed for advancing players who want a rich, resonant, and expressive tone. Built using carefully seasoned tonewoods — including a spruce top and a nicely flamed two-piece maple back aged at least seven years — it provides depth, warmth, and clear projection suitable for orchestral and chamber performance. The viola is fitted with high-quality components such as ebony Parisian eye pegs, a Guarneri model ebony chinrest, and an Aubert “Luxe” French bridge, all contributing to its professional setup and responsive playability. Adjusted with premium strings and tailored hardware, the SM20155 offers a refined playing experience right out of the case.
