In first position, put your second finger next to your first finger, they should be touching.
You can play tons of notes on the c string, but if you want to play something that can be played on the a,d,or g string it will require shifting.
A viola is in the key of C, and is tuned in fifths. The lowest string is tuned an octave below middle C, then G, D, and A. Each string is an octave higher then a cello. A viola is in the key of C, and is tuned in fifths. The lowest string is tuned an octave below middle C, then G, D, and A. Each string is an octave higher then a cello.
If you put a viola c string on a violin, it will probably sound like a rubber band because the violin is not big enough to allow the sound to develop.
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.
You tune the viola to the high A, to the A string, Tune the A string to the D string, D string to the C string. C string to G string, which is the lowest and thickest string. Make sure to make sure that there isn't a sound like wa-wawa-wa-wa-wa. And the bow is on both strings.
you play a c

Yes, the violin has a higher pitch than a viola. Even though the violin and viola are similar in size, the violin has an E string while the viola has a C string. (I should know as I used to play the violin but switched to stand up bass)
There is no C string on a violin- the strings are G, D, A and E. Perhaps you are thinking of a viola, which has a low C string, alongwith a G, D and an A string.

An octave is a stepping stone, of sorts. On a viola, their are multiple notes that play 'a'. On the G String, first finger is 'low a' On the A string, open is 'a' They are separated by an octave. An octave is the distance between two of the same notes. To play a two octave scale, start with first finger D on the C String and end with Third finger D on the A string. The Viola has four strings: A, D, G, C. C is the lowest.
I play viola myself and so the strings are: A, D, G, and C. The C string is the closest to your left and the A closest to your right, or your bow hand. To play the notes on each of the strings, place your finger down on the yellow or red or white tapes and move your bow.
A viola is a wonderful instrument used in the orchestra. Now Violin's get the higher parts in the song yet the Viola play the deeper darker pieces because a viola has a low C string and Violins have an high E string. I personally think the violin sounds like a dying cat so there you go sorry if not the answer you are looking for:)

Low 3rd finger
You tune the viola to the high A, to the A string, Tune the A string to the D string, D string to the C string. C string to G string, which is the lowest and thickest string. Make sure to make sure that there isn't a sound like wa-wawa-wa-wa-wa. And the bow is on both strings.
