While plugged in, the Albert Nebel 601+ viola keeps the natural warmth of a traditional violia while adding edge and a whole new dimension of musical possibilities. Albert Nebel violins, violas, and cellos provide famous quality at a modest price. These instruments are crafted from aged European tonewoods and are varnished by hand in the Eastman workshop. The unique pickup system is embedded into the spruce top of the instrument before varnishing with no disturbance to the bridge. Our proprietary 3.5 mm jack is used as the end button on the violins and viola’s making it unnoticeable. Each instrument comes with a lightweight, low-profile cable that provides a seamless connection to your amplifier or individual playing setup, making this the easiest and most comfortable design to “plug in” on the market.
