A.M. Bilva, Florida ‘Conte Vitale’ 16.5″ Viola 2024

We are honored to feature this wonderful viola made right here at Fiddlershop by our very own Andrés Modesto Martinez Bilva. This viola was made entirely from start to finish with the unparalleled craftsmanship of our head luthier. It’s rare that violin makers also excel in the set-up process, but we are fortunate to have a true master in our midst.

This viola has a wonderful tone; very clear with an inviting resonance. The instrument is a good weight, not too heavy, and is very comfortable to play.
