Description
The Scherl & Roth SR72 is a professional-grade viola built for advancing students, conservatory players, and section musicians who have outgrown an intermediate instrument and want a refined, projecting voice. Hand crafted with a solid spruce top over flamed maple back and sides, the SR72 is finished in a hand-applied red-brown oil varnish and dressed with hand-inlaid purfling, giving it the warm, resonant tone and elegant appearance expected of a high-tier orchestral viola. As one of the most trusted names in American string education, Scherl & Roth (distributed by Conn-Selmer) has equipped students and educators for generations, making the SR72 a dependable step-up choice for school programs, private studios, and serious players alike.
Every SR72 is professionally set up and adjusted in the workshop before it ships, so it arrives play-ready with a properly fitted bridge, dressed ebony fingerboard, and correctly seated ebony pegs. A select French maple bridge and a composite tailpiece are matched to Helicore strings to deliver a clear, focused response across all four strings, with the depth and projection needed for ensemble and solo repertoire. This careful shop preparation means students and teachers can begin playing immediately, with reliable tuning stability and comfortable playability straight out of the case.
Offered as a complete outfit, the SR72 pairs the viola with a brazilwood bow, a lightweight oblong case, and rosin, so there is nothing extra to buy to get started. Available in 15-inch, 15.5-inch, 16-inch, and 16.5-inch body lengths, the SR72 lets players and educators match the instrument to the musician's arm length and physical fit, making it an ideal upgrade for advancing violists who demand professional tone, handsome craftsmanship, and a trusted brand.
