Endeavour 'Maestro' violas are the highest level violas in the Endeavour range. They are hand-carved, and hand varnished in China to quality specifications of The String Workshop.
These violas stand out from other brands of 'heavy' and 'dull' violins which are swamping today's market.

Endeavour violas are extremely light-weight and produce an alive, clear and beautiful resonance which far exceeds the tone of other violins in this price range. Made from carefully selected fine-grained and seasoned tonewoods, hand carved, and then carefully vanished by hand with traditional oil varnish. 

Each instrument is personally set-up by Phil Whitehead and adjusted for perfect playability, and for a beautifully rich and balanced tone. An excellent instrument for any higher level player.
