The maintenance and upkeep of your Viola is just as important than your practice. If you are searching for a great quality Viola accessory; “Voilà”, you have found it! Here at
Normans Musical Instruments we supply the exclusive and excellent value-for-money
Forenza accessories. A brand dedicated to musicians and their beloved instruments.
Forenza Viola bows, available for either 12-13” or 14-16” length Violas, are built to the same high standard expected of the Forenza brand.
Selected Brazil wood, inlaid ebony frog and natural horsehair all combine to give you an excellent and reliable response and articulation.
Strings are the most common accessory, and a necessity. You should carry spares with you at all times.
Normans Musical Instruments stock a large quantity of quality Forenza replacement Viola strings for full size Violas. The
Forenza Viola String Set (for under
£10!) are constructed from a steel core that is durable & not affected by changes in humidity & temperature. They produce a warm sound and provide a good and consistent bow response. Each is a complete set containing the C, G, D, & A strings. Remember, don’t wait until a string breaks, always carry a spare set!
A much needed, yet inexpensive accessory,
Forenza Violin Rosin will give your Viola bow the correct level of adhesiveness to ensure accurate articulation and response. Forenza Violin Rosin is by far our most popular brand due to its quality and price of
under £3! The rectangular design allows for easy application and provides the perfect friction between the bow and string.
Top-Tip; always sand/rub down a little of any new rosin blocks to help adhesion, plus don’t press too hard and rip the hairs from your bow. No more ‘Scratching’ Viola’s now!!
Obviously shoulder rests make your whole performance and practise technique a more comfortable activity……and lessen the signs of a visible double-chin(s)!! The
Forenza Violin Shoulder Rest (also suitable for Viola) is our highly recommended model. Due to its ergo dynamic design, comfortable padded area and the fact it retails at
under £7, these are outstanding value for money. Available in ¾ and full size, the durable rubber connecting clips protect the viola and make them height & width adjustable. The thick padded foam area has been contoured to perfectly fit into the shoulder. Comfort and Joy!
Obviously, your beloved
Viola came with a case, but sometimes they can be damaged or zips break etc. and you require a suitable replacement. At
Normans Musical Instruments we can guarantee to provide you with an affordable and high quality Forenza case for your viola.
We stock two models of Forenza cases; the
