Carlo LambertiĀ® Tertis Viola
The Carlo LambertiĀ® Tertis Viola is a masterfully designed instrument inspired by the groundbreaking work of the legendary British violist Lionel Tertis ā one of the most influential figures in the history of the viola. His revolutionary body design solved one of the violaās greatest challenges: how to achieve a deep, powerful, cello-like sound without sacrificing the playability that performers demand.
The Tertis design features a smaller upper bout for ease of shifting and maneuverability under the chin, paired with a larger lower bout that generates the rich, dark, resonant tone the viola is capable of at its finest. The result is an instrument that feels comfortable to play and sounds far beyond its price point ā a rare combination that advancing violists and professionals alike will appreciate.
Hand-crafted in the Carlo LambertiĀ® workshop and set up by Shar Musicās expert luthiers in Ann Arbor, Michigan, every Tertis Viola arrives perfectly adjusted and ready to perform. The attention to detail in the setup ā from string height to soundpost placement ā ensures that the instrumentās full tonal potential is unlocked from the very first bow stroke.
Key features include:
- Lionel Tertis-inspired body design for superior tone and playability
- Smaller upper bout for comfortable shifting and maneuverability
- Larger lower bout for a deep, dark, cello-like resonance
- Hand-crafted construction with quality tonewoods
- Expert setup by Shar Music luthiers in Ann Arbor, Michigan
Whether youāre an advancing student stepping into a more serious instrument or a professional seeking exceptional value, the Carlo LambertiĀ® Tertis Viola delivers a playing experience that will inspire and reward at every level.
