{"product_id":"scherl-roth-sr72-professional-viola-not-set-up","title":"Scherl \u0026 Roth SR72 Professional Viola (Not Set Up)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Scherl \u0026amp; Roth SR72 is a hand-crafted intermediate viola built for advancing students, serious school-orchestra players, and educators who want a step-up instrument with genuine tonal depth and projection. Each SR72 is made from fully solid tonewoods - a hand-carved spruce top paired with well-flamed maple back and sides - and finished with a warm, hand-applied red-brown oil varnish and hand-inlaid purfling. The result is a responsive, resonant viola with the richer low-end and singing upper register that growing players need as they move beyond their first instrument. As a respected name in American string education, Scherl \u0026amp; Roth (distributed through Conn-Selmer \/ Eastman) has equipped students, teachers, and rental programs for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the SR72 in its \"Not Set Up\" form - the bare carved instrument supplied without final shop adjustment. It ships with ebony pegs, a select French maple bridge, and a composite tailpiece, but it does not include installed strings, a fitted soundpost adjustment, a bow, a case, or rosin. It is intended for luthiers, dealers, and school repair shops that prefer to perform their own professional setup - fitting the bridge, adjusting the soundpost, dressing the fingerboard, and stringing the instrument to their own specification before it reaches the player. For a fully play-ready package with case, bow, rosin, and a professional workshop setup, choose the SR72 \"Set Up\" outfit instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffered across the standard intermediate viola body lengths - 15\", 15.5\", 16\", and 16.5\" - the SR72 lets schools and shops match the instrument to each player's reach and tone preference. Quality solid-wood construction, traditional ebony fittings, and time-tested Scherl \u0026amp; Roth craftsmanship make it a dependable foundation for an instrument that will be set up, played, and enjoyed for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-crafted intermediate \/ step-up viola from Scherl \u0026amp; Roth (Conn-Selmer \/ Eastman)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid hand-carved spruce top for warm, responsive tone and projection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWell-flamed solid maple back and sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine ebony fingerboard and ebony tuning pegs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-applied red-brown oil varnish with hand-inlaid purfling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelect French maple bridge and composite tailpiece included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipped \"Not Set Up\" - bare instrument for your own professional shop setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 15\", 15.5\", 16\", and 16.5\" body lengths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for luthiers, dealers, and school repair shops doing in-house setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate \/ step-up viola\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid hand-carved spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid flamed maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePegs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Select French maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTailpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e Composite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePurfling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-inlaid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVarnish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-applied red-brown oil varnish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not installed (instrument is not set up)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not Set Up - requires professional shop setup before play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15\", 15.5\", 16\", 16.5\" (select size variant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScherl \u0026amp; Roth SR72 viola (bare instrument, not set up)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEbony pegs, select French maple bridge, and composite tailpiece fitted to the instrument\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Scherl \u0026 Roth","offers":[{"title":"15","offer_id":46386629279941,"sku":"SNR-SR7215","price":2559.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15.5","offer_id":46386629312709,"sku":"SNR-SR72152","price":2559.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16","offer_id":46386629345477,"sku":"SNR-SR7216","price":2559.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16.5","offer_id":46386629378245,"sku":"SNR-SR72162","price":2559.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3085\/3829\/files\/ScherlRoth-SR72-Viola_9dd04be6-d475-4b07-aedb-8be4e58da8bf.jpg?v=1781722095","url":"https:\/\/avlgear.com\/products\/scherl-roth-sr72-professional-viola-not-set-up","provider":"AVLGEAR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
