Nikolas 16VAA00 16" Viola Student-Intermediate Instrument w/ Soft Case

Estimated Year: Late 1990s–2000s (estimated)

Made in: China

This Nikolas 16" viola is a solid, student-to-intermediate level instrument imported specifically for Rettig Music, Inc. (Defiance / Lima / Toledo). It features a traditional amber-brown finish with a nicely flamed appearance on the back and a comfortable neck profile that makes it easy to play for advancing students or casual ensemble use. Nikolas instruments were commonly selected by regional music stores for their consistent build quality and reliable tone at an accessible price point.

The viola shows honest cosmetic wear consistent with use, including areas of finish wear and chipping near the neck heel, which are clearly shown in the photos. These are cosmetic only and do not affect playability or structural integrity. The instrument plays as it should and would make a great option for a student needing a full-size viola without breaking the bank.

Includes a padded soft case.

Bow is NOT included.
