Scherl & Roth SR62 Sarabande Intermediate Viola Outfit

The Scherl & Roth SR62 Sarabande is an intermediate step-up viola outfit built for advancing students, school orchestra programs, and serious players ready to move beyond a beginner instrument. Each Sarabande viola is handcrafted from premium tonewoods, pairing a solid carved spruce top with flame maple back and sides to deliver the warm, projecting, resonant voice the viola is prized for. A hand-applied spirit varnish lets the wood breathe and vibrate freely, producing a richer, more mature tone than the laminated instruments found at the entry level. Backed by the Scherl & Roth name, a brand trusted by educators and distributed through Eastman Music Company, the SR62 is a dependable, music-store-grade instrument designed to inspire confident playing.

Tone and playability come from careful appointments and a true workshop setup. The viola features an ebony fingerboard and ebony tuning pegs for smooth, stable tuning, a hand-fitted maple bridge, and a composite tailpiece with fine tuners for quick, accurate intonation. It is strung with high-quality D'Addario Helicore strings, whose stranded steel core gives clear note articulation, warm sustain, and excellent tuning stability across the range. Every SR62 is expertly adjusted in the Scherl & Roth shop and arrives play-ready, so teachers and students spend their time making music rather than fighting an out-of-the-box instrument.

Offered as a complete outfit, the SR62 includes everything needed to start playing right away: the set-up viola, a braided carbon fiber bow, a protective lightweight case, and quality rosin. Available in 15-inch, 15.5-inch, 16-inch, and 16.5-inch body lengths, it fits a wide range of intermediate players and is an ideal choice for private lessons, school strings programs, and advancing orchestral musicians who want a genuine step-up instrument at a sensible price.
