The viola is larger and heavier than the violin, but in the same general shape. The instrument is also played on the shoulder and held up by the head and shoulder. This instrument is a good pick if the student enjoys a more mellow sound compared to the higher sound of the violin. It makes for a nice contrast against the sound produced by its slightly smaller violin cousins, which adds a counterpoint that can step in to take the lead from time to time for a more dynamic composition – a trait that many composers have taken advantage of. If you’re interested in adding depth and character to the music, the viola may be the instrument for you.
