Violas

The Viola shares many properties with the violin but is pitched a 5th lower. In an orchestra and string quartets the viola acts as a vital link between the violin and the deeper and bigger cello. Placed underneath the chin like a violin, the viola comes in a variety of different sizes, suitable for younger beginners right through to adults.
