It has arrived!
And it is GORGEOUS!!
I had to double-check the outside of the box for the model number to be sure they sent me the same model. I just couldn't believe the difference...
I'm going to have a hard time getting any more work done here at the shop with this distraction in my office. Pictures later. I can't wait to show you all.

I wasn't worried about my son. It was my son's teacher I didn't want to face...
Had my first lesson with my own viola tonight for the first time. My favorite part was when my son and I played together. My least favorite? Being told how bad my hand position was...
I'll take the promised pictures when I get home from Aikido classes tonight.

Not as many photos this time, as it's late and the light in my living room isn't nearly so well suited to photography as at my office: Cecilio CVA-400 Viola
Some discrepancies from the official description: The viola is awfully shiny for having a "satin varnish," and this instrument has a one-piece back. Neither of those differences are going to get a complaint out of me, though.
I think it is lovely.
Hats off to KK Music Store for the excellent customer service. I'll be writing a customer testimonial letter tomorrow to let them know how pleased I am.

I've updated the photos in the gallery linked above with better ones taken at the shop.
As for the Christmas project – I've got to be able to make discernible notes come out of the Viola first, before I make any attempts to play part of a score. I'm still an absolute beginner!
<Edit> Fiddlerman – Perhaps you can move this entire thread into your fledgling VIOLA section, now that you've got a place to put it? Probably a better fit than here in the Violin section.
