This model is taken from an instrument built in Vienna in 1890, by Wilhem Thomas Hjaura. It is a classic Vienesse model with gamba corners and sloping shoulders for an easier play of the high register.
The carved top accounts for the good sound and the laminated back and sides allow us to offer an instrument of a great quality at a lower price. Two option are offered: laminated and solid back.
This model is perfect for beginner and intermediate students who need a good sounding instrument, with good construction at an affordable price.
