The Franz Hoffmann® Amadeus Viola Outfit in 13" size is the perfect complete package for younger students beginning their viola journey. Every Franz Hoffmann® instrument is built to secure your child’s first success and protect your investment in their musical future — and this outfit gives them everything they need to get started with confidence.

The 13" size is ideal for students who have outgrown smaller instruments and are ready for a fuller viola sound, while still needing a body length that fits comfortably. Crafted from quality maple, spruce, and ebony, the Amadeus Viola delivers a warm, clear, responsive tone that encourages students and earns the trust of teachers.

Professionally set up by Shar Music’s expert luthiers in Ann Arbor, Michigan, every Amadeus Viola arrives individually adjusted for smooth peg function, proper string height, and optimal playability — a teacher-trusted, setup-led performance that lets students focus on learning, not fighting their instrument.
