What does B-stock mean?

Every now and then we receive an instrument from our workshop with a visual imperfection. The instrument might have a small nick, scratch or a discoloration in the varnish. These visual issues do not affect the performance or playability of the instrument. However, we would never put these instruments into our regular inventory.

Just like every other Fiddlerman instrument we sell, this instrument is set up by our talented luthiers and is covered by our warranties.

We have a limited stock of these instruments. Every instrument has a different imperfection.

Fiddlerman Concert 5-String Viola Outfit

Meet the "Swiss Army Knife" of instruments! It has the depth and warmth of a serious viola, with the clarity and brilliance of a high quality violin.

This instrument is the perfect choice for players that play both violin and viola, as you'll always have both in one instrumnet. It's the secret weapon for recording sessions to add layers of luscious string pads.

The Concert 5-String Viola comes set up from high to low as: E-A-D-G-C.

Available Sizes: (In the video, Michael is playing the 15.5")

  • 15"
  • 15.5"
  • 16"
  • 16.5"

Players with shorter arms/fingers should consider the 15-15.5" size, as these are only slightly bigger than the Fiddlerman 5-String Master Violin, but the larger sizes will offer an even deeper and more profound sound, but require more physical capability.

The outfit includes all the accessories you need to get started.
