Play the viola
The viola is slightly larger than the violin and therefore plays deeper sounds. It has a rich, mellow tone and blends beautifully with other members of the orchestra, providing support for all the other strings. Despite violas being the oldest stringed instrument, dating from the 1530s, viola players are an endangered species and learners are urgently needed.
