Overall it has a decent look, no scratches or dings, sounds a little dry maybe, or maybe I'm just horrible 
I do feel Cello is still my calling but I wanted to try the Viola so I finally got one! Don't expect any videos until I climb out of the horrible stage, but I won't be giving up!

So this deserves its own topic...
Vibrato takes years to master... YEARS... not days. Also, you can go in phases of losing your vibrato a little... It is something that takes constant practice.
It is ALL about relaxing.. relax the entire arm, wrist, hand, fingers.... Any tension can make vibrato sound bad.

I am just beginning vibrato on my cello. I do believe that with the difference in the positioning of the cello and viola with everything, I doubt it will carry over. Maybe when I start it with my violin, it will carry over to my viola. I have not gotten very far with it on my cello. Like pchoppin said, a slow learn.
Let us know how you like your viola when you get going on it.

Congrats on your new viola! I second Pete on this, it takes a long time to get a good vibrato. Well, even a decent vibrato can take time.
