Viola

it depends on the age, type, and quality of the viola

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.

All I can say is get the violin music and convert it to bass cleft, I'm looking too ;)

There have been many. Originally, the violin design was an improvement upon a viola de gamba family. From there, it's shape has been significantly refined.

Aside from technological improvements in strings, mass production, etc., there are many other improvements.


Using a standard of a baroque violin (the really old-school style), I'll list the major updates.


The two most notable structural changes have been the sound-post and the bass bar.

The sound-post (also known as the soul-post) is a small wooden post that is placed inside the violin, somewhat tightly between the front and back. The theory is that it helps both "plates" resonate together, with a focus on the higher frequencies.


The bass bar is tacked to the inside of the top of the violin, running about half the length and about as wide as a pencil. The bass bar brings out the lower frequencies.


External updates from a baroque violin to a modern one include the chin rest, and the shoulder rest.


The chin rest is firmly clamped to the bottom edge of the violin, allowing the player to either rest their chin, or use their chin to hold the violin between the chin and shoulder, which allows for greater freedom of the left hand, which no longer needs to support the violin.


The shoulder rest is a completely external system, used in conjunction with the chin rest. Some players will opt to not use a shoulder rest at all, some will use a very small pillow, or a cloth, or a combination. Generally, though, a shoulder rest lifts the violin and allows it to fully project sound, where a pillow, cloth, or no shoulder rest may result in a more muted sound (albeit unintentionally).


More recently, fine tuners have been added to the tailpiece for a greater degree of control in tuning.


There are also very modern changes, including electric pickups for a traditional violin (for electric amplification), and completely electric violins, some with pretty wild shapes, and some versions have more strings, allowing for a complete range of cello, viola, and violin on a single instrument.

The viola range is roughly from the c below middle C to the C two octaves above middle C. However, as with all instruments the upper range varies on the capability of the player, as, unlike woodwind instruments, there is no defined upper limit.

No, the Helmke Viotti violin is not considered to be good quality. It is a discount starter violin and is typically bought through a company called Great Tunes Direct. It is said to be cheap and not durable.

You can either pluck the strings by putting your thumb on the right if the finger board and pluck the C,G,D,or A string or bow it. Bowing it is a little bit harder than plucking it. before you put your hand on the bow make a thumb bump by bending your thumb forward a little, then place your thumb by the frog (the big black thing at the end of the bow) then place the bow on any string and either push forward or pull back on the string and then place your fingers of the left hand on the string you are playing on and it makes the sound go higher A viola makes it's sound by the strings vibrating

Try 8 notes.com for finding sheet music, they have music that is rated on difficulty and a lot of it is free. One of my favorite songs to play on viola is Ave Maria, it is beautiful, but the notes are quite easy and the song has a pretty slow tempo.

Basically, the viola is played like a violin. Hold the instrument up with your jawbone, via a chin rest and shoulder rest, and finger with your left hand. Bow with the right hand. Music is writen in alto clef--a different clef from all other instruments. Generally, slightly more pressure is needed for bowing and fingering than for violin due to the thicker strings and slower response. Also there is a bigger reach in the left hand because the string length is longer. For best results, I would strongly suggest getting a private instructor. Oh--and practice, practice, practice! and you have to like what you are doing or else it's gonna be really hard. If you are interested in learning the viola, it'll be easy.

It is true, playing the viola requires practice and an instructor to teach appropriate technique. Without an instructor it is all too easy to develop bad habits that can cause bad sound or even physical injury like carpel tunnel! There is a lot more that goes into actually playing a viola than can be told on an answer here. It has to be experienced physically.

The viola is an descendant of the Vielle family of instruments which originated in Italy in the mid to late 1400's. (it is not known exactly when the Vielle family was invented or by whom.) These instruments were called Fiedel in Germany and were played "on the arm" leading to the name "Viola da Braccio" in Italy (to differentiate them from the family of "viola da gamba", which were played with the instrument resting on the legs). The closest relative to the viola is the Violin. (The Viola d'amore, which was used in the Baroque period, and was played in the same manner as the violin and viola, but had 6 or 7 strings which were fingered on a fingerboard with frets like the Viola Da Gamba, and had additional sympathetic strings under the fingerboard which vibrated 'in sympathy' with the bowed, fingered strings.) The Viola is the Alto of the Violin Family. It also fills the part of tenor, when another violin is filling the voice of alto (i.e., in String Quartets and symphony orchestras). Attempts at a Tenor viola produced an instrument so large that it could not be played under the chin, and was held similarly to the cello. The earliest iconographic evidence of a viola is in the 1534-5 frescoes in the dome of the Sanctuary of Soranno. The earliest known surviving viola was made in 1560 by Andrea Amati.

The viola has been treated as a solo instrument right along with the Violin. In the Baroque era, the solo potential of the instrument was realized by composers such as Telemann, Vivaldi and J. S. Bach, who wrote several concerti, sonatas and other solos for the instrument. Often, composers of the era claimed the viola as their favorite of the violin family.

The viola is actually the only orchestral instrument that can't play the music from Jaws. Sucks, dude. Maybe try the cello?

the string on the far right side is called the E string.

the string after that is called the A string.

the one after that is called the D string.

the one on the far left corner is called the D string.

The viola was created in the 1500s and our modern viola was created in the 19th century.The viola was made before the violin was!

The viola's lowest note is open C, which is tenor C (or C3 in scientific pitch notation)

The viola has an almost unlimited upper range, but most reasonable composers would write above C8.

An F Sharp is a note on the viola. To play this note, you put you second finger on the D string (2nd highest string) and it will either play an F natural, or an F sharp. The F finger would be touching the third finger, the G note. If you are playing an F natural, The F finger would be touching the first finger, the E note. Make sure that when you are playing the F Sharp note, there should be a space between the F Sharp note and the E note, your first finger.

To reader,

There are two ways the first one is pluck which is when you put your finger at the end of a string and let it go when it makes a noise be carefull you dont brake a string off.

The second way is the bow where you swift along the string with it's not that easy you have a bow hold and you have to press down a bit hard.
