Glasser AE 5-string 16-inch Carbon Fiber Acoustic-Electric Viola, Orange
This 5-string 16" Glasser AE carbon composite acoustic-electric viola has a big, rich acoustic tone, and the option to plug in and amplify so you can be heard in situations where your acoustic alone isn't quite enough volume. This well-made, attractive instrument has a great acoustic sound and excellent amplified tone.
This 16" carbon fiber viola body is exceptionally well-made and unplugged has a clear, strong tone. Carbon fiber can't have the "woody" sound of your regular acoustic viola, but Glasser has done a great job with the materials so that this viola doesn't have the nasal tone that you occasionally hear from some instrument made from synthetic materials.
The Glasser AE really shines when plugged in. It features active electronics, developed in partnership with Bartolini. The Glasser Swordtail active system features a volume knob on the tailpiece, and a dual bass/treble tone control and and 1/4" output jack built into the chin rest. The incorporated preamp gives this viola a strong, rich amplified tone and the acoustic body lends it complexity.
A case and bow are not included. If you already have an extra case, the Glasser AE viola will fit in any standard 16" viola case, however we do offer a range of bow and case options, on our site.
