you hold

a violin by the far end of the neck with your left hand, unless you have a left-handed violin, then it's right. you set the violin on your shoulder, with your chin resting on the left hand side of the violin, again, unless you own a left-handed violin.

Is a viola higher or lower than a violin?

I play the viola, and it is lower than the violin. It has four strings like a violin, but on the violin, the strings are G, D, A, and E. On the viola, the strings are C, G, D, and A. So the viola can do four notes lower than the violin. I prefer the tone on the viola to the violin. It is also a bigger instrument than a violin, even though it is held the same way. If you are wondering whether to switch from the violin to the viola, you definitely should, in my opinion. It was one of the best things I did musically! The viola is better :)
