16" Rudoulf Doetsch Viola

Rudoulph Doetsch Viola

Rudoulf Doetsch instruments are a favorite among teachers and students for clarity and projection of tone, as well as a particularly smooth playing response.

The tops and backs are carefully tuned and graduated, the bass bars fitted, and the Doetsch signature antique-style spirit varnish is applied by hand.

The Johnson String Instrument set-up includes precisely fitted high quality ebony pegs, a select ebony fingerboard planed for proper scoop, a Despiau "Superieur" bridge, lightweight Wittner tailpiece with four built-in fine tuners, and Dominant D, G, and C strings with a Jargar A string. We finish it by adding a Guarneri style chinrest made from select ebony.
