Description
The Jay Haide á l’ancienne has been designed for the advanced student and professional who needs an instrument that will compliment and enhance their artistic style. This Jay Haide viola is a wider bodied Maggini model, with the distinctive double purfling and darker sound.
All Jay Haide violas are hand-made of quality seasoned maple and spruce and have a tone quality and workmanship normally found in instruments costing much more.
The á l’ancienne violas are made by more senior violin makers with finer quality aged wood for musicians requiring the best tone quality.The Jay Haide á l’ancienne violas are brought to you after years of development. The varnish is a new formulation, carefully applied and beautifully antiqued giving each instrument the patina of age, so desired by both musicians and connoisseurs. They are as beautiful tonally as they are visually.
