a viola is bigger than a violin, but smaller than a cello. we play in alto clef, based around middle c. the viola consists of the following strings, a, d, g, and c. while the violins have a high e, we have a low c. in my orchestra’s case, we set the base, the rhythm, with the cellos. i absolutely love this instrument with all my heart.
note: this is a violin, as the e string is barely noticeable.
