Overview

Performance and tradition come together.

The Andreas Eastman VA305 Series+ viola allows you to experience the resonant tone of an acoustic viola while giving you the versatility of an electric instrument. This 16.5" viola is handcrafted from figured maple back, sides and top, and finished in an antiqued spirit varnish for a warm, rich tone. The integrated pickup system is discreetly embedded within the top, allowing you to plug in and amplify your sound through an amplifier or PA system.

Plug in Without Sacrificing Acoustic Tone

The VA305 Series+ viola's integrated pickup system captures the nuances of your playing and translates it into an amplified signal without altering the instrument's natural acoustic tone. Simply connect the 3.5 mm output jack to an amplifier or mixer, and you're ready to perform. The pickup's discrete design seamlessly blends into the top of the instrument for an unobtrusive appearance whether plugged in or not.

Handcrafted From Select Maple Tonewoods

Figured maple was carefully chosen for the back, sides and top of the VA305 Series+ viola to produce a resonant, balanced tone. The maple top gives clarity and crispness to the higher registers while the maple back and sides provide warmth and richness in the lower ranges. Finished in an antiqued spirit varnish, the maple tonewoods are highlighted to showcase the wood's natural beauty. The varnish also protects the wood while allowing it to vibrate freely for optimal resonance.

Premium Features at an Affordable Price

With these professional-quality accessories included, the VA305 Series+ viola is performance-ready right out of the case.

Designed for Musicians on the Move

Whether you're performing on stage, recording in the studio or simply enjoying playing at home, the compact and lightweight VA305 Series+ viola was designed with portability in mind. The hard case allows you to safely transport your viola wherever your music takes you.
