Pygmalius Derius DA-180, made in 2001 15.5 inch (body length: 395mm) Viola Pygmalius is a brand produced by Violin Co., Ltd., which has a workshop 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 due to its excellent design, beautiful sound, and artistic finish, and has been supported by many musicians. The DERIUS series is a musical instrument that makes full use of the essence of famous instruments, and is easy to play and sound for those who are new to it. The DA-180, the highest grade of the Derius series, has an antique finish with a sense of style, and is made by skilled craftsmen, allowing for a more expressive and delicate tone. Although antique finish models are not currently produced, the grade seems to be equivalent to Progresso (VA200) to Specialita (VA300). This is a rare and beautiful piece with a single-piece back plate, which is unusual for a viola, and has a dynamic tiger stripe. It is a 15.5-inch size that is easy to handle even for small people, and has a delicate tone and a good response. 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 opportunity. Enjoy the colorful and rich sound of Pygmalius.
