Martin Héroux, Ste Emelié de L'Énergie, 2009

This beautiful viola was made in 2009 by Canadian Master Luthier Martin Héroux. The body length is 41.5 cm. The viola possesses a warm sound with marvelous projection, rich in harmonics, and very well balanced over the strings. The neck of this instrument is very comfortable to the hand and makes it very easy to play. The one-piece back is made of a very beautiful flamed maple with a dark orange varnish.

The instrument is original in all main parts and is in excellent condition, ready to play.
