Violins are NOT b-flat instruments. A violin is a C instrument (like a Flute or piano). A viola is also a C instrument. The viola is larger and can play a fifth lower than the violin. Violin strings highest to lowest: e, A, D, G. Viola strings highest to lowest: A, D, G, C. Same A, D, and G pitched strings.

A violin's lowest note is the open G below middle C. The only under-chin stringed instrument that can play lower is the Viola, which plays the open C (1 octave below middle C) as it's lowest note. The only exception to this is the Electric violin/viola, which can have as many as 7 strings, the lowest being a B flat 2 octaves below middle C.

Which is the largest out of the violin viola cello and bass?

Truthfully I would say that bass is the best instrument. That is if you are looking for a challenge. It is a very large instrument with a large range of notes that can range from a low E (or B if you have a extension or five string bass) to a high G or D. If you want a beautiful instrument you can play cello or violin. But unless you are amazing at either of those instruments you are not going to get very far. There is much less competition if you play bass. This is a completely biased opinion. I hope your instrument searching goes well!

Is the piano a c instrument?

Yes, the piano is a C instrument. The reason behind this is that when a personal plays a C on the piano a C is heard. As an example, the trumpet is a B-flat instrument - because when a trumpet plays a C it sounds as a B-flat so it's music is written in a different key in order to play with a C instrument, such as a piano, flute or violin. It gets a bit confusing, but that is the basic explanation behind the terminology.

How do you transpose viola music to clarinet music?

To transpose viola music for clarinet, first identify the key and the instrument's transposition. Viola music is typically in C (concert pitch), while the B-flat clarinet sounds a whole step lower than written. To transpose, raise the pitch of the viola part by a whole step. For example, if the viola part is in C major, you would write it in D major for the clarinet.
