    It's bigger than Violin. Its not easy to play the actual instrument but what they have in their parts in orchestra is usually easy accompanying lines

    Violas are awesome. We had 5 in my school orchestra.... but the year i left so did 4/5 of the viola players, mostly overseas.

    If it can't be played in a marching band, then it's not an "instrument".

    That'd make the doublebass easy enough for even you then, surely?

    half the violas ive ever heard never pass the "scratchy as shit" phase though, where when played they sound like rocks being thrown into a box of helpless devil cats...

    and then the other half are really brilliant.

    its like mussels, you love them or you think they suck

    yeah violas are mussels

    Violas are awesome, my sister learnt it for a couple of years and I had a bit of a play on it, the sound is so much deeper than a violin, very nice!

    Wow a lot of harsh attitude towards violas from one little man Yui! Haha

    But seriously... Someone's gotta play viola don't they!
