Pygmalius Derius DA-180, made in 2001 15.5 inch (body length: 395mm) Viola Pygmalius is a brand produced by Violin-sha, a workshop located in Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, and boasts one of the highest qualities in Japan. Since its birth in 1976, it has influenced not only Japan but also the European and American markets with its excellent design, beautiful sound, and artistic finish, and has been supported by many musicians. The DERIUS series makes full use of the essence of famous instruments, making it easy to play and produce sound even for those who are new to the instrument. The DA-180, the highest model in the Derius series, has an antique finish with a dignified appearance and is made by skilled craftsmen, allowing for the creation of a more expressive and delicate tone. Although antique finish models are not currently produced, the grade seems to be equivalent to the Progresso (VA200) to the Specialita (VA300). This is a rare and beautiful piece with a bold tiger stripe on the one-piece back, which is unusual for a viola. It is a 15.5-inch size that is easy to handle even for small people, and it has a delicate tone and a responsive sound. How about a full-fledged viola for this opportunity? Since the distribution volume is small and it is difficult to find even used violas, please do not miss this chance. Enjoy the colorful and rich sound of Pygmalius.
