no The cello can, however, achieve many notes in the viola range. The viola can only go down so far in pitch on the lowest open string.

Why do you think there needs to be more viola and cello players than tuba players in an orchestra?
Uhmmm... Because celli and violas don't make as much sound as tubas, and you can have only one tuba in the whole orchestra, and have it overpower all of the other instruments, but when you only have one cello, it's hard to hear them~same with the violas.

What is the string order of a viola?
The thickest string is the C below middle C; then G, D, A. The viola is tuned a fifth below the violin, which means that the G, D, and A strings a the same as the violin, and one octave above the cello.
Besides the strings how can you tell the Violin apart from the Viola?
The cello is a much bigger instrument with a lower range of pitches. It looks the same as the violin (if you ignore the size) but the violin and viola both have a chin rest, and the cello does not. Instead, the cello has an end-pin at the bottom that you stick into the ground. Basically, they are the same except for the chin rest and the end-pin (and the size, of course).
