Elegant yet practical in design, Zeta’s Educator Modern viola brings new Form and Function to Music Education. A professional quality instrument that is the workhorse of the teaching studio, the Educator Modern viola has been specifically designed for use by music teachers and students. From recitals and live performances to classroom teaching and practice, the Educator Modern viola delivers excellent acoustic-electric tone and stylistic versatility.

Zeta's E-Series Pickup System delivers a rich, natural acoustic sounding string tone. Whether used as an analog pickup or a digital MIDI pickup in conjunction with the Zeta Synthony II MIDI Controller / Synthesizer (sold separately), the Educator Modern viola’s E-Series pickup system delivers beautiful tone without feedback.

Zeta's proprietary internal active preamp system increases the power of the pickup signal from the E-Series pickup. This high-tech innovation provides a wide range of amplification flexibility, supporting a variety of tonal characteristics suitable to diverse playing techniques and styles of music. An internal 9-volt battery provides over 1,000 hours of service on average.
