The Franz Hoffmann® Amadeus Viola Outfit in 14" size is a complete, ready-to-play package for students stepping into a more full-bodied viola sound. 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 grow with confidence.

The 14" size bridges the gap between smaller student instruments and full-size violas, making it an excellent choice for intermediate-aged students who are ready for a richer, more resonant tone. Crafted from quality maple, spruce, and ebony, the Amadeus Viola delivers a warm, clear, responsive sound that rewards developing technique 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.

This complete outfit includes:

• Franz Hoffmann® Amadeus Viola (14") with quality maple, spruce, and ebony
• Carbon fiber tailpiece with four built-in fine tuners
• Hand-carved bridge and durable nitro varnish finish
• Quality brazilwood bow with genuine horsehair
• Lightweight, durable carrying case

When you choose Franz Hoffmann®, you’re investing in the beginning of your child’s musical journey, backed by over 60 years of Shar Music expertise.
