Cool video! I like the Viola best, sort of bridge tones between the violin and cello for soulful music. Cheers!

There are Viola conversions which are more than just Violins strung as Violas (they use the bottom 4 strings from a set of 5 String Violin strings) they have a hole drilled below the treble bridge foot which is attached directly to the sound post, it goes down the hole and rests directly on the back like on a Welsh Crwth.

Hella cool, thank you for the quick show. I was torn between which one to get into today, now I'm leaning towards Viola :) cheers!

Good choice! I played in high school and a couple of years in a local Symphony. The Viola is so mellow sounding to me!

Have fun on your journey, I’ve played in a symphony orchestra from grade 2 to grade 8 and now I’m in the youth orchestra and high school string assemble so what I know is that if you’re also into a comer instrument then viola is a good choice and also we’re like a rare gem so we have a much higher success rate into getting into stuff like orchestras, groups, events (etc) because theirs so many violins, good luck and thanks for joining us violas.

A Vertical Viola would be cool too because it has a 20 inch body which is big enough for those low notes but it's also big enough that you can play it like a Cello with the end pin.
