I've been looking for options of buying a 17-inch viola, but I can't find any shops that sell 17-inches, and if they do, it's extremely expensive, like $25,000+, so I'm...

Robert Brode makes a great viola for $12,000.

Robertson and Sons Violin Shop in Albuquerque has a great selection. Christian Pederson is one of Robertsons in-house makers. His instruments are quite good and well-priced. Here's a link to Robertson's viola inventory, categorized by price range. Good luck! http://robertsonviolins.com/index.php?page=viola-inventory

I know it's far from you, but try contacting Ken Sullivan (Sullivan violins) in Rochester, NY. He has excellent violas.

W.H. Lee for sure!

W.H. Lee is really great! When I was viola hunting 8 years ago, I tried 6 different violas from their shop. They are very professional and great to work with in finding the right instrument for you. They can be of most help if you give them a size and price range. Personally, I love the Cison violas the most.
