It's a matter of opinion. They aren't really that different, and how they sound depend entirely on how well they were built and the proficiency of the player. There are way more good violist players though, because for most orchestral pieces, there are two violin sections, so there need to be twice as many violins.
Though most violists get a college degree more commonly than a violin would and differentiating on the proficiency on the player a violinists are usually payed more because violas are more rarely found than a violist.

∙ 11y agoIt depends...if the violin is electric, and the guitar is acoustic, or vice versa, than obviously the electric instrument would be potentially louder. Electric instruments' volume can be adjusted, as on an acoustic instrument you can play "forte" or "piano". So i guess it just depends... :l :l

What the piano can do what violin cannot do?
The piano can make lower notes than a violin because a violin is a very high pitched musical instrument. I would say another thing you can do on a piano that you can't do on the violin is the fact that you can play seconds, thirds, fourths and fifths on the piano.

Is piano better or violin better for an 11old?
I took piano lessons in first grade and picked up the violin in fourth grade. Personally, I liked the violin better but it's probably best to let the child decide which instrument they prefer. Though, to be fair, they'd have to learn two clefs (bass and treble) to play the piano and only one (treble) to play the violin.
