They both are from the violin and the string family. The violin and viola also share 3 of the same strings: G string, D string, and A string. They generally look the same, except the viola is usually bigger than the violin (depending on the size of the viola).

∙ 15y agoA violin has an E, A, D, and G string. A viola has an A, D, G, and C string. 3 out of 4 strings are the same. A 14 inch viola is also the same size as full size violin. They are both held on the sholder. Im sure there are more similarities, but this is what i can think of off the top of my head.

They aren't. One is an instrument and the other is garbage.

The violin is part of a family of string instruments that all have the same basic structure but vary in size- this family is made up of the violin, the viola, the cello and the double bass.

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 :)
