Which stringed instrumrent is than a violin but smaller than a cello?
The string instrument between a violin and a cello in size is called a viola. It is bigger than a violin, and deeper in sound. It also reads in a different clef- violins read in the treble clef, and violas red in the alto clef.
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 :)
