Viola outfit - Gliga Genial 1

Solid wood and ebony fittings, of course, but oil varnish at these prices?  Yes, and a Glasser or Wittner tailpiece, Prelude strings and a brazilwood bow (American composite bow for small sizes), and a shaped styrofoam case and a block of rosin.  Why buy a Chinese viola that will not give you the dark mellow viola tone you want, when you could buy one of these for a similar price?  Why make a child play on a restrung violin when real violas come right down to 11 inch?
