What is the difference between a violin and a cello apart from size?
A violin is a much higher pitched instrument than the Cello. Also, the violin is played while supporting it with your neck and shoulder while the Cello is played upright, similar to a bass.
First violin compared to second violin?
The first violin and second violin are the same instruments. In an ensemble (orchestra, symphony, ect.) the first violin plays the higher part and the melody, while the second violin plays the lower part or the harmony. There is sometimes also a third violin, which plays the lower part along with the second violin, and this can go on and on. (4th, 5th, 6th) One common misconception is that the first violin plays the harder part, but this is not always true. The violins playing the harmony might have a harder time supporting the first violins.

Which is better viola or violin?
It depends. The violin is higher pitched than the viola. The violin is a more common instrument, so more music is written for it.Opinion:The viola is a far superior instrument to the violin. The violin is often a screechy instrument and most players are amateurs. The viola is the expert players instrument. It is larger and has a warmer, deeper tone so is a much nicer sounding instrument. A violin is essentially a college dropout while the viola went to a university and received a PHD.
What is viola?
Viola is a stringed instrument that is often found in an orchestra. While looking similar (Identical to most) to the violin, they are indeed different. Viola has the strings C, G, D, and A (lowest to highest) and plays in alto clef, while violin has the strings G, D, A, and E and plays in treble clef. Viola tends to produce a darker tone than violin. Cello has the same strings as a viola, but their strings are an octave lower than the violas'.
