What is the difference between a 5 string violin and a 5 string viola?
February 23, 2008 at 12:19 AM · There are 5-string fiddles that have the same scale length as a normal violin, and 5-string violas with bigger bodies, longer scales, and darker tone. Scale length on the violas is limited to about 14 inches because it's hard to get longer E strings.
How do I choose a good viola?
When choosing a viola look for specific traits, such as:
1
Quality tonewoods—the viola should feature a Spruce wood belly (top plate), and include other woods like maple and ebony.
2
Tight Construction—Like the violin, the fittings have an influence in the sound quality.
Are violas alto?
The viola is the alto voice of the String family. It is larger than the violin, and its lowest note is a perfect 5th lower than the violin. A typical symphony orchestra will have twelve violas seated two to a desk for a large orchestral work.
Can a violin have 5 strings?
A five-string violin is a variant of violin with an extra string tuned below the violin's usual range. In addition to the G, D, A, and E strings of a standard violin, a five-string violin typically includes a lower C string.
