What's the difference between a viola and a violin?

The main difference between a viola and a violin is their size and pitch range. The viola is larger than the violin and has a lower pitch range. Additionally, the viola is typically played in a lower register and has a richer, warmer tone compared to the brighter sound of the 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 :)

The cello sounds similar to the other members of the violin family: that is, the violin, viola, and double bass. It has a lower tone than the violin and viola and a higher tone than the double bass, but still sounds similar. It is especially similar to the double bass because they are both bass instruments.

What are the variations of the viola?

From violin ? It is the middle voice of the violin family, between the violin and the cello. It has a more rich, deep resonant tone. It practicly has its own clef, the Alto Clef. And, umm, it burns faster. .... Or so I've heard ( Probably because it needs a longer body because of the lower pitch )

Why are antique violins so desireable?

While newer violins can have a beautiful tone, the older a violin is, it gerneally has a very deap tone colour. This tone is what makes 'antique' violins valuable, because they are older and it is hard to buy a new violin with the tone that is desirable for certain types of music.


How does resonance affect the sound quality of an instrument?

Resonance does not affect a violin. Resonance is the violins ability to vibrate with the tone that is played. With a high resonance, a violins sound will be heard long after the note is played. With a low level of resonance, a violin will sound dull and immature. Resonance affects the tone quality of a violin, but the violin has a direct relationship to its resonance.

How do you change the sound of a violin to a low pitch?

A violin is fashioned to have certain pitch strings on it. These strings are G D A E from lowest to highest. Slight changes could be made to the strings and they can be drop tuned, or tuned to a different note, but this changes the intervals between the strings. If a lower pitch is desired then perhaps you should try playing a viola which has the strings CGDA and is a fifth lower than the violin. The cello and bass are also lower in pitch but these instruments are substantially larger to accomadate the deeper tone.
