I have not seen one. I have a Fiddlerman Soloist 15.5 inch viola that I like. Maybe someone else will chime in and help you out.

I don't know this model either. Is there any way that you could try it before buying (or not) ?

I can find only one review on the thomann website ; and two others here but it seems that these guys make sure the instruments are properly set-up (bridge, sound post etc) before selling them. So, depending on where you buy from, you may get a different quality instrument.

By the way, that 1/2" will make a world of difference. I use a 15 1/2".

Thanks @Mouse,

I would agree on going with the Fiddlerman. Never heard of Hidersine, and you get a satisfaction warranty with all Fiddlerman products. :)

You are welcome, @Violaman I would, ot say it if I did not believe it. I would just have said nothing, for those of you wondering. 

It is fun to play because the set up is so comfortable and the sound is not hindered by it being a 15 1/2 inch, as opposed to the 16 inch. I was told that I would not like it because it would not sound as good. Really? It has a lot of full sound. I can finger, bow and hold it, unlike the 16 inch that I have, another brand.
