GVC STEFAN PETROV VIOLA SPA

GVC Stefan Petrov Viola SPA 

The GVC Stefan Petrov Viola SPA is a masterful blend of traditional European craftsmanship and tonal artistry. Handcrafted by skilled luthiers in the Stefan Petrov workshop, each viola is individually shaped and finished using only the finest tonewoods and a unique hand-rubbed oil varnish. This process enhances not only the natural beauty of the wood but also the instrument’s resonance and character. Available in classic patterns inspired by the Amati, Guarneri, Guadagnini, and Stradivari schools, each model captures the spirit and tonal balance of the old Italian masters.

Tonally, the Petrov SPA viola produces an incredibly rich and warm sound with deep projection and a refined response across all registers. The oil varnish allows the tone to breathe freely, creating a broad, expressive range that matures beautifully over time. Whether performing solo, in chamber settings, or orchestral work, this viola delivers power, balance, and subtlety with ease.

Designed for advanced players, educators, and professionals, the Stefan Petrov SPA stands out for its exceptional craftsmanship, superior playability, and elegant design. Each instrument arrives completely set up by the Petrov workshop at no additional cost, ensuring perfect tonal response and comfort right out of the case.
