MMX Student viola outfit

Introducing the MMX Student viola outfit

The MMX Student viola outfit has everything you need to start playing straight from the box. Including an MMX composite student bow with genuine horsehair and a high quality sturdy carry case, this outfit is ideal for the beginner viola player.

The Student series of MMX instruments offers unrivalled value for money. Each instrument is carefully constructed in the MMX workshop in Beijing from selected materials to produce reliable instruments which support and encourage learning. Violas at this price point are usually finished with a plastic lacquer, but MMX instruments receive an oil-based varnish which provides a desirable finish and improves resonance.

These violas are set up in our factory and arrive ready to play. They are fitted with quality strings which give a warm tone. For a similar instrument, but with a bespoke setup from our UK based luthiers, see MMX's graduate violin outfit.

The MMX range

MMX has been working with master luthier Guofang Wang and his family workshop for nearly a decade, producing a broad selection of orchestral stringed instruments. For the beginner, the Student series of violins, violas, and celli offer the best start in the playing journey right through to our Signature instruments, which are perfectly at home in professional orchestral and solo work.

Attention to detail

Each instrument is diligently cared for at every stage of the production process, ensuring incredible value for money at each price point. Attention to detail is at the heart of every MMX violin, viola, cello and double bass. The tone wood panels are sourced from the forests of Sichuan or Yunnan province and seasoned to increase their strength. The lustrous oil-based varnish is mixed to exact specifications to create a desirable antique finish which enhances both the grain and resonance of the instrument bodies. Even the fittings used are carefully selected to suit the instrument perfectly.

Exceptional craftsmanship

From the materials used to the way they are carved, fitted, and assembled, MMX aims to deliver instruments that will surpass all expectations!
