LaChambre VA01 Student Viola
Made Exclusively for Kessler & Sons Music
As a company, we always fight to provide the customer with the best value. In the string market, this fight sometimes seems an uphill battle as the industry tends to be stacked against the consumer. This has led us to develop our own line of performance series orchestral stringed instruments under the name “LaChambre”. Named in honor of a long since retired technician in our shop, these instruments offer unparalleled value. Our new VA01 Series student viola will re-define the expectations of performance at an affordable price!
VA01 Student Viola
The LaChambre VA01 is a fully carved student viola that uses naturally dried Spruce, Maple & Ebony. At this price point, many violins will use substitute woods or fake ebony (mahogany painted black) in order to reduce costs. Unfortunately incorrect woods lead to poor performance combined with decreased reliability. Especially in the drier climates, the quality and types of woods are of the utmost importance to the durability of your student violin! So even though this is an entry, budget priced student viola, it is still a great performance instrument that will impress anyone who plays it!

In Home Trial
Kessler & Sons Music offers a 3 day trial / return policy on the LaChambre VA01 Student Viola. There are no cleaning fees or restocking fees (assuming that the item is returned in proper condition). We know that you need to be able to test the instrument to make sure that it is the right instrument for you. We carefully package the instrument so that it arrives safely to you.
Please note that when we ship the instrument, we wrap the bridge and the tailpiece in tissue paper so that IF the bridge were to fall down in shipping, no damage occurs to the instrument. We do not ship the violin with strings under full tension but there is enough tension to keep everything in place while in transit. If you do decide to return the violin, please make sure to follow the same guidelines so that the instrument is returned in the same condition it was sent out.
Please read our terms & conditions (link at the bottom of the page) for full details on this policy.
