Jay Haide Artistique à l'Ancienne Viola – Strad Model (15"–16.5")

The Jay Haide Artistique à l'Ancienne viola is crafted for advancing students and budding professionals. Handmade from seasoned European maple and spruce, it features a delicately shaded, antiqued spirit varnish applied by hand, giving it the patina and visual maturity of a seasoned instrument. The top and back are carefully tuned and graduated, with fitted bass bars ensuring refined sound production and strong projection.

Set up by LAVS luthiers, each viola receives a custom-carved bridge, precision sound post fitting, and high-quality Wittner tailpiece with fine tuners—providing effortless tuning stability. The fingerboard is planed for smooth response, and the viola ships with Thomastik Dominant strings (or equivalent) for bright clarity.
