An intermediate viola with pro-level plugged-in potential.
The Andreas Eastman VA405 Series+ viola gives you the best of both worlds: a handcrafted acoustic viola for practice and performance, with an onboard pickup system for plugging in. Designed for intermediate players, the VA405 has a comfortable 15" size and is built with a solid spruce top, and maple back and sides for a balanced, resonant tone. When it's time to plug in, the custom-designed active pickup system captures the natural warmth and nuance of the acoustic sound.
Custom-Designed Pickup Provides Studio-Ready Tone
The VA405's integrated pickup system gives you a clear, feedback-resistant plugged-in tone for recording or live performance. Designed specifically for the VA405, the active pickup accurately captures the nuances of your playing and the natural resonance of the tonewoods. Simply plug into an amplifier or PA system using the discreet output jack, and you'll be ready to record or perform with a studio-quality sound.
Handcrafted Tonewoods Produce Warm, Balanced Tone
A solid spruce top paired with maple back and sides gives the VA405 a balanced, resonant tone that's ideal for the intermediate player. The spruce top provides warmth and richness, while the maple adds clarity and focus. Hand-applied spirit varnish protects the tonewoods and allows them to vibrate freely for the best possible sound. The result is an acoustic tone with depth, warmth and nuance that translates beautifully when plugged in.
Comfortable Size for Intermediate Players
With a 15" body size, the VA405 offers a comfortable playing experience for intermediate violists. The manageable size makes it easier to play for long periods, while still producing a full, resonant tone. The slim, lightweight maple neck and ebony fingerboard provide smooth playability, allowing intermediate techniques to shine through. Overall, the VA405 is designed to support and inspire the developing player.
Premium Appointments Provide Stunning Looks
From the hand-inlaid purfling to the shaded spirit varnish finish, the VA405 is a work of art. The varnish finish protects the tonewoods while allowing their beauty to shine through. Boxwood pegs, tailpiece and bridge provide an elegant complement. Whether practicing, recording or performing, the VA405 is an instrument you'll be proud to play.
Features
- Solid carved spruce top with maple back and sides
- Integrated pickup system with 3.5 mm output jack
- Strung with Thomastik Vision strings
- Adjustable bridge and chinrest for comfort
