The sound post inside of viola came off =(?
I am a violist, and I know that a sound post coming off is a major thing. The question that I would have to ask is, "how did the sound post come off?" because in many cases, that is what would determine the warranty question.


I don't know how good your local music store is, but if they make instruments there (string instruments), then they should be able to fix it.


If they don't, find a Violin Maker, and they would be the ones to be able to put in a new sound post

Reply:I play violin, so I know all about this. The sound post coming out...that's a tough thing to fix. What you can do is ask if they can fix it before you actually let them fix it (or they'll charge you), and if they can't...that's bad. I really hope they can! I don't think chipped paint will be included in the warranty, because it's not really a thing that happens over time - it's more of an accident. The best of luck! I wish you the best! Hope I helped, Darlin'! =)
Reply:Hey, a viola is not a car. You have paint on your viola?? Maybe, varnish, but not paint (I hope). Warranty? Again, it's not a car.





The sound post didn't "come off," it fell down, probably. An easy repair, probably not very expensive to fix. Don't play the instrument until you have the sound post reset.
Reply:They should be able to fix it, however about the warranty: if there is one you should know about it when you bought it.
