Jay Haide Violas
“These hand made instruments are by far the best in their price range.”
John Reid (Leader of the English Haydn Orchestra)
These violas are a testament to the quality produced by world-class European luthiers Jay Ifshin and Haide Lin. There are four models available:
- Stradivari
- Guarneri del Gesu
- Guadagnini
- Balestrieri
Each is distinct and created with meticulous attention to detail. Jay Haide violas are elegantly antiqued using specially formulated varnish, and feature intricately carved scrolls, f-holes, top and back archings with precisely fitted ebony pegs, and a Despiau “Superieur” bridge. Jay Haide violas come outfitted with a Wittner tailpiece, an ebony tailpiece with the single “E” string tuner. It comes with a choice of Dominant, Tonica, Larson or D’Addario strings as well as a case and bow.
With warmth and tonal qualities reminiscent of old European instruments, Jay Haide instruments have a better sound quality than instruments three times their price. These violins are used by many professional string players in orchestras whilst on tour. The L’Ancienne range is the only choice for serious musicians and connoisseurs alike.
