Violas come in different levels for players on different stages of their learning journey. Many students start out by renting violas for practice until they are ready to own one. If you’re looking to buy a new viola, you’ll want to know how much to spend. We’ve summarized our findings below, but you can read our full article about buying a viola.
Generally, violas fall under three categories for pricing:
- Student Violas: These are for beginners. Young students or players at the early stage of learning the viola are constantly working on the basics of playing, tone production, fingering, bowing etc. Hence, maple (dyed black to resemble ebony) is sometimes used for the pegs and fingerboards, areas that are exposed to more friction. Student violas are mostly machine-made to keep costs low while maintaining tone consistency. Quite affordable. Prices range from $200 – $2,500.
- Intermediate to Advanced Violas: With higher workmanship, the sound of an intermediate viola is also much better. There are more dynamics and stronger projection. The pegs and fingerboards are crafted with ebony and most of the instrument is handcrafted. Prices range from $500 – $10,000.
- Professional Violas: Pure craftsmanship using the finest quality of wood, professional violas exude a rich tone and wide dynamics. Masterpieces like these are expensive. Prices go from $10,000 onwards.

Using serial numbers to identify the exact production dates of Reynolds instruments is inherently inaccurate given the lack of published records to corroborate with. Except for a fragment of Reynolds’ production data from 1964-1979 that is preserved in the Allied Band Supply catalog, I am not aware of any surviving official serial number records for Reynolds brass instruments.
- Scherl& Roth Violin R3000 E 4/4 Full Size Serial#7130476 Bobelock Case + Bow A Scherl& Roth violin model number R3000 E 4/4(full size) that has a serial number 7130476. Also included is a Bobelock case. Bow, strap, book and other accessories. The bow is marked“Sivori” on the side.
- I was looking for a violin and thought it was a nice one till I looked up the model number and found out it was a 15.2” Viola. Still good for a beginner like me. The pegs turn smoothly, no sticking or jumping. The Label reads: Model# R111E152 Serial# p9344 SCHERL & ROTH Conn-Selmer, Inc Cleveland, OH, U.S.A 2007 Made in China.
As such, the serial number lists compiled below have been based on the visual observation of engraving patterns and other instrument details that I’ve cross-referenced against catalog illustrations and other available historical information. I believe that, while exact dates may never be able to be accurately verified for a specific serial number, the general progression of these lists is defensible and represents Reynolds instruments through the company’s history.
