Looking To Buy a Viola

August 8, 2016, 7:17 AM · Hello,

I am looking for a viola, size 16-16.5", budget 15-20K. I am asking for my wife, who is a professional violinist. She also teaches viola. Her current instrument, although good, is not meeting her needs, thus the quest to upgrade.

My wife and I will be in the Toronto, Canada area in mid-September. We have already made appointments with all the major violin shops in Toronto. What we are looking for are private sales or any contacts you may have that we could explore while we are in Toronto. Thanks for you help (and for not making firewood of this thread)!
