Violas

Discover the rich, alto textures and unique tonal depth of the viola at Matchetts Music. Often celebrated for its warm, dark resonance, the viola provides the essential inner voice of the string family. We offer a carefully selected range of instruments, from robust student outfits perfect for those making the transition from violin to hand-finished violas crafted from premium tonewoods for the advanced orchestral player.

Because the viola requires a perfect ergonomic fit, we stock a variety of body sizes—from 12-inch junior models up to full-size 16.5-inch instruments—to ensure comfortable playability for every musician. Every viola in our Belfast showroom undergoes a professional setup to guarantee precise intonation and a responsive feel across all four strings.
