Viola by master violin maker Bernd Hiller – Baroque viola

This viola by Bernd Hiller, built in 2023 in Regensburg, combines the tradition of baroque violin making with modern playing features. It offers an exceptional combination of historical sound quality and contemporary handling, suitable for both soloists and orchestral musicians.

High-quality materials and craftsmanship

The top of the viola is made of close-grained, light and durable spruce wood with an even grain. This material ensures excellent sound projection and a balanced resonance, giving the instrument remarkable clarity and warmth. The back of the viola is made of high-quality sycamore maple, which ensures a stable sound balance. All components of the instrument are veneered by hand, resulting in a particularly solid and durable composite and thus further optimizing the sound quality. The classic Italian varnish, with a golden-brown base coat and a noble, orange-brown varnish layer, harmoniously rounds off the overall picture and promotes the sound development of the instrument.

Strings from Kürschner – Tradition and Precision

The viola is strung with gut strings from the renowned company Kürschner. These strings offer excellent response and a warm, authentic sound that perfectly matches the baroque style of the instrument. They enable precise and expressive sound reproduction and support the historical playing style.

Easy response and modern feel

Thanks to its easy response and comfortable handling, the instrument is very pleasant to play for both advanced musicians and beginners. The short neck, which is typical of baroque instruments, ensures an authentic playing style, but is easy to handle thanks to the modern handle.

certificate and floor length

With a back length of 420 mm, the viola offers excellent ergonomics and playability. Each instrument is personally certified by Bernd Hiller, so the musician can be sure that he owns a unique, high-quality instrument.

For demanding musicians

This baroque viola is ideal for musicians who have high demands on sound quality and handling and who value both tradition and modern requirements. It is suitable for both professionals and dedicated amateur musicians who are looking for an instrument that will perform excellently in baroque music as well as in modern performances.
