A solid Chinese spruce top paired with solid Chinese maple back and ribs gives the VA80 the balanced tonal character you expect from a traditionally built viola.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFittings are top-quality ebony throughout — fingerboard, tuning pegs, and chinrest — and genuine hand-inlaid purfling adds both traditional looks and real structural detail. A Despiau bridge and a high-gloss varnish finish round out an instrument that presents well on stage and holds up in the practice room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 16 inches, this is a full-size viola, offering the larger body and fuller tonal response many advancing students and adult players are after. It's a natural fit for lessons, school orchestra, ensemble playing, and anyone ready to move beyond a beginner outfit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis highlighted example has very few blemishes — only a few minor surface feather scratches on the top and rims of the body — and has been adjusted by our technician for general playing conditions. It ships as a complete outfit with a hard-shell case and bow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4 style=\"font-size:1.5em;\"\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Maker: Samuel Eastman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Model: VA80\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Instrument: Viola\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Size: 16 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Level: Entry-level \/ Student\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Top: Solid Chinese spruce\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Back \u0026amp; Ribs: Solid Chinese maple\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Fingerboard: Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Tuning Pegs: Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Chinrest: Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Purfling: Genuine hand-inlaid\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Bridge: Despiau\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Finish: High-gloss varnish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Construction: Hand-crafted student instrument\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Intended Use: Lessons, school orchestra, ensemble playing, and developing viola players\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(28, 29, 29); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eShop Adjusted \u0026amp; Ready to Play\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Includes Samuel Eastman VA80 16-inch viola, K.
