This New Primo Viola started its journey twenty years ago when the mountain grown maple and spruce were placed in Jinyin's controlled storage room to be naturally aged. Like the Italians 300 years ago, Primo violas are made with select aged woods and made the old fashion way - by hand. Please take our virtual tour so you can see how each Primo is made: VIRTUAL TOUR. For those who would like to know the important elements of a fine string instrument please visit: VIOLIN PRIMER. With thousands of violins on ebay, most are mass produced from inferior materials. We are one of a few music stores offering quality instruments for those who care about music. Thank you for looking us over.

Chinese made violins and violas are coming into their own and can be found in most music stores, including Shar, for three good reasons: quality materials, quality workmanship, and exceptional value. The best Chinese instruments now match European and American quality. We import direct so you do not have to pay the typical 400% markup seen in traditional violin stores. Unlike 95% of the vioilns and violas on ebay Primo is a serious brand with an International Web Site: www.primoviolins.com. We charge a $20 shipping charge which includes Tracking and Insurance to protect your investment in this exceptional viola.

We have never received any Negative Feedback on this item and it is easy to see why---Quality! Due to the limited production of the Primo Master violas we can only offer them on ebay on a limited basis.

 

Poor Quality Fast Growth Wood from Breton Violin Wood from this inexpensive violin is not dense and has wide growth rings

High Quality Slow Mountain Forest Wood gives you superior tones on our Primo Violins & Violas

 

Our Primo Master viola is 16 full inches in size and comes with a man made leather case. We have seen similar cases priced at over $500.00 in expensive Mall Music Stores and mail order outlets like Shar.

Suggested Retail Price is $1459.00. With the new 2005 Primo Master Viola are many improvements. Unlike most violas, the Primo is made with select wood that is naturally aged for twenty years. This is your chance to upgrade to a new highly crafted viola made of rare premium aged woods.
