Make a Chin-Cello with Octave Viola Strings

Today I'm going to take you on my journey to make a "Chin Cello" by putting the Sensicore Octave Viola strings on a both a Fiddlerman Apprentice Viola, and also the Ming-Jiang Zhu 909 Viola.

The big question is: can you do this without making any adjustments to your instrument?? (like drilling bigger peg holes and widening string grooves). And the answer is: YES! (well, almost, and it worked for me, but might not for you...)

Some things I used to make this happen:

Why do we make these comparison videos?
We know that purchasing a string instrument is a big purchase, and every instrument is unique. Since you might not live nearby, or be able to play the instrument (yet) we're here to play them for you and let you hear the ACTUAL instrument you will receive.

We make these videos for instruments at the Master level and higher, and request that it be used for serious inquiries only since they are very labor intensive. To have one made with some of the instruments you are considering, contact us: Email: [email protected], or Phone: 800-595-0592.
