The sound of a viola is mellower and deeper than that of a violin. It generally plays the harmony in an orchestra. It is most difficult to bring a strong sound out of a viola, and to compensate for this violas have long bows. Violas have A, D, G, and C strings. They are one octave higher than a cello and can play four whole notes lower than a violin.
