That would be the viola. Violists read alto clef (and treble in some cases).
The viola is the middle member of the three violin family as we have known it for four hundred years. In the last half of the 20th century a group called the Catgut Acoustical Society did mostly acoustical scientific studies to determine why the violin is a brilliant instrument yet the viola and cello lacked power over their full range. It was discovered that the body was too small to develop the resonances exhibited in the violin. When the body was scaled up with length was increased from 15-17 inches to 20 inches, violin power and brilliance was achieved. It was first called the vertical viola, but how it is known as the alto violin.
The alto violin is part of the new violin family. Reasonable priced master shop instruments imported from China and finished to a high standard are now available for order. It is supplying the sound and power that some violists have yearned for for years.
