Glaesel VA10 Vintage 15" Viola
Out of stock
Regular Price:
$799.00
On Sale For:
$599.00
Features:
A 15-inch vintage viola with true viola warmth in the most comfortable, approachable size we offer.
The 15" body is the friendliest entry point into the viola world: easy to hold, easy to reach, and still unmistakably a viola in voice. It is an ideal fit for younger players, smaller-framed violists, and violinists making the switch. Freshly refurbished by our shop with new Dominant strings and a new Aubert 5 bridge, backed by decades of naturally matured tonewood, it arrives set up and ready to play.
Why this one:
• Comfortable 15" body, the most accessible viola in our vintage collection
• Warm, genuine viola voice from decades of aged German-crafted tonewood
• Full 2026 shop refurbishment: Dominant strings and Aubert 5 bridge, ready on arrival
The Glaesel story starts in our backyard: German luthier Kurt Glaesel founded Glaesel String Instrument Service in Cleveland in 1973, and for decades every Glaesel was shop-adjusted right here in Northeast Ohio. Our vintage collection comes from that era, and each instrument has spent those years in our care.
