I was surfing ebay for Pirastro's Eudoxa C string (I hate how Singapore doesn't have alot of things. I had to get my Oliv C online too) when I chanced upon this:
I am smitten!
It's a 15.5" baroque viola, a Copy of Sebastian Klotz Baroque Viola and it costs only S$2?? Ok, the auction actually starts at S$2, but there is no reserve price, so it does mean if I'm the only one interested in the baby, I will actually get it for 2 bucks. Sweet!
I know that when it comes to instruments, how it sounds is more important than its appearance and price, and how one should try to stay away from ebay when buying instruments, but heck, for $2, I don't mind taking a risk.
Ok, the shipping is like a hundred bucks, so it will actually cost me about a hundred odd to ship the thing over to Singapore.
I've been wanting to try my hands on a baroque viola for some time, but you know, baroque music is so niche its hard to find one without having to sell one of my kidneys in place like Singapore where classical music isn't exactly that popular among the masses, let alone early music.
I am so going to get this. For a hundred bucks to try out a new instrument, I think its quite worth it.
