GVC Trista Select Viola
The GVC Trista Select Viola is meticulously handcrafted in the renowned Stefan Petrov workshop, where traditional European methods meet modern precision. Each instrument is individually made by skilled artisans using highly figured maple for the back and sides, paired with a finely selected spruce top. The result is a viola that embodies the Petrov reputation for elegance, tonal depth, and lasting craftsmanship—all at a remarkable value.
Tonally, the Trista Select offers a rich, expressive sound with warm resonance and balanced projection. Its detailed hand-graduation enhances responsiveness, allowing for fluid bowing and dynamic control. Whether performing solo pieces or blending within an ensemble, this instrument delivers clarity and complexity that continues to mature with consistent play.
Perfect for advancing students, teachers, and serious amateurs, the Trista Select Viola stands out for its enhanced tonewoods and refined aesthetic. Players seeking both sophistication and superior sound will appreciate its craftsmanship and versatility. For an added tonal upgrade, it can be professionally set up with Dominant strings, offering even greater warmth and articulation.
