One of the incredible aspects of violas is they have centuries of masterful craftsmanship. Some of the greatest instruments in the world are from the violin family. They have become heirlooms and filled the world with beautiful music. Dolce Violins adores this history and, to that end, we work only with the true masters making and supplying violas today.

Dolce Violins specializes in the best the world has to offer. We are proud to supply violas and other instruments from the masters, including Andrew Carruthers, Anna Sandys, Polstein and White, Diana Gonzalez, Ute Zahn, Andre Lavoye and more.

Once you have found your instrument, it’s time to look at the accessories. Dolce Violins also supplies cases, bows and more to help keep your instrument safe and sounding its best. Be sure to explore our many accessories that will help your purchase last longer and serve you for years to come.

If you have an instrument in need of repair or restoration, we can help as well. Since your viola is a major investment, we want to ensure that it will last. That is why we work closely with two trained, professional and experienced instrument makers who are experts in bringing instruments back to life.
