	Hi Andy, Just a note to let you know that I am enjoying my new 15 1/2" viola very much. The size is just right. It has a great tone, speaks out, and is becoming "mellow" sounding, too. The more I play it, the better it sounds. Sue N. Purchased Viola by R. Riva of Sardinia, Italy for $8330

	First impressions are lasting impressions. I am 54 years old, and live in Northeastern Montana. I want to learn music, and chose the viola for the sound it makes. I still don't know first position from third position, but I have a goal of playing church music and possibly even playing in the local symphonette, someday. So, I rented a quality viola and ordered this one from Andy Fein. I have been scratching around on the rental for a while, and finally ordered this one. I felt I needed something to compare to. First impressions: The viola arrived 2nd day air, as promised. I ordered 2 bows with this viola. Even a rank amateur like me can feel and hear the difference, and I already have a favorite--the carbon graphite bow. Opening the case, I could see, feel, and smell quality. Comparison of the bridges between the two instruments showed the much greater attention to detail given to the Fein. Under the chin, the Fein [viola] has the feel of quality, and comparison of the sounds--even though I cannot play, yet--is no contest. The Fein viola balances physically and tonally, and it sounds alive! It will be a joyous instrument to learn and I am sure it will take me as far, musically, as I am capable of achieving. Mark I.

	My daughter loves her new viola. My son and daughter really like their new upgraded bows too. Their teacher really loved your viola and bow. I gave your information to my teen's viola teacher. I also have recommended your instrument to one of the parents in the California Youth Symphony during annual seating audition last Sunday. I will tell our story if anyone looks for instruments or bows. Thanks for all of your help. Jae B. Purchased Viola by R. Riva of Sardinia, Italy for $8330 purchased two of these violas
	Just a note to let you know that tonight for the first time at symphony rehearsal, my stand partner was there to hear my new viola. I compared the sound of his very expensive French viola to mine. My viola sounds just like his! The tone is mellow but speaks out. I am really getting to like my new viola and want to thank you for your personalized attention and caring for your customers. Sue N. Purchased Viola by R. Riva for $4250
	The viola arrived just in time to excitedly open and ooh and aah over its beauty, then whisk it off the Leanna's lesson where her teacher played it and thought it sounded great. It is beautiful and sounds lush.....thank you so much for your help and expertise. Thank you for being a blessing to us. Nancy S. Purchased Viola by R. Riva for $2108

When I play it has a wonderful sound. I look forward to playing it for many years to come, that is until I trade it in :) Have a happy holidays. Stephanie C. Purchased Viola by R. Riva for $2108
	Dear Andy,Megan,John, I received the viola today. Many thanks to you all for sending me this meticulously crafted great sounding viola. I am overwhelmed. Thanking you Again. With Warm Regards, Sudhir Purchased Viola by R. Riva for $2108
	Dear Mr. Fein, Thank you so much for the Viola you sent to my son, Jason. We had a couple of conversations with John as to what we were looking for. We listened to John play a few Viola’s over the phone. The first one Jason received was not quite what he was looking for. We spoke with John again and my son explained the type of sound he needed to hear. John spoke with you and you immediately sent a new instrument. Jason was amazed with the sound that came from this instrument. He played it for hours after receiving it and smiles broadly whenever he puts bow to string. He is very hard to please and we had other visits to Luthier’s lined up before this instrument came. My son played instruments while he was looking that costs thousands (just to listen to the sound) that did not seem to have the sound that came from your instrument. We appreciate the time and effort you put into providing us with an instrument within our means that sounds this wonderful. This is an instrument that he will be proud to play for years to come. Sincerely Steve B Purchased Viola by R. Riva for $2108 16 inch viola
	The viola arrived this afternoon. Andy really likes it. We had a hard choice to make between that one and another local instrument, but he settled on the Riva. Thanks for having such a neat, accessible website. Without it we'd never have known to look for you. Andy will be wearing his Fein Violin t-shirt proudly (nice touch, by the way!). Thanks for all your help and patience with this sale. We will recommend your website to friends. Regards, Gaynor D. Purchased Viola by R. Riva for $4250
