We've had purple five-string violas from Nick Tipney at Vector before, but never quite like this one. The previous violas were a lighter, less saturated color, but this one is the very definition of deep purple. It's a gorgeous color, just barely light enough that you can see the figure of the instrument's curly maple top. The lower bout and central spine of this ultra-violet viola are finished in satin black, providing a beautiful contrast.
The amplified sound of this instrument is as gorgeous as its color -- a five-string Barbera Twin Hybrid bridge igves the Prodigy Pro a rich, focused, and powerful tone.. Your acoustic viola doesn't have a low F string, a fifth below the C, so the Vector may actually sound *better*. If you're wanting to steal thunder from the violin section rather than the upper half of the cellos, we can re-string this with a viola-length high E string, instead.
Broaden your horizons, and extend your range -- the perfect purple viola awaits!
