What the piano can do what violin cannot do?

The piano can make lower notes than a violin because a violin is a very high pitched musical instrument. I would say another thing you can do on a piano that you can't do on the violin is the fact that you can play seconds, thirds, fourths and fifths on the piano.

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 :)
