Description
The Scherl & Roth SR82 is the flagship Stradivarius Series viola, a fully carved, solid-wood instrument built for advancing students, conservatory players, and serious orchestral musicians who have outgrown a beginner outfit. Patterned after the classic Stradivarius form, each SR82 is hand-graduated from a select solid spruce top over a well-flamed maple back and sides, then finished in a warm, hand-applied amber to red-brown oil varnish. The result is a responsive, projecting viola with the depth, warmth, and complex overtone color that demanding repertoire requires, backed by the Scherl & Roth name that music educators and string programs have trusted for generations.
This listing is for the SR82 in its 'Not Set Up' configuration: the carved viola is supplied as the instrument itself, ready to be fitted and adjusted by your own luthier or school shop rather than pre-adjusted at the factory. That makes it the smart choice for teachers, repair shops, and dealers who prefer to cut the bridge, fit the soundpost, dress the fingerboard, and string the instrument to a particular player's specification. Ebony appointments throughout, including the ebony fingerboard and ebony pegs, give the SR82 the tonal stability and premium feel expected at the advanced level.
Available in 15-inch, 15.5-inch, 16-inch, and 16.5-inch body lengths, the SR82 lets you match the instrument to a growing student or an adult player's reach and tone preference. Because it is sold not set up, plan for professional shop setup before play; the carved spruce-and-maple body, ebony fittings, and oil-varnish finish provide an outstanding foundation for a custom, player-ready adjustment.
