Answer 3

oh yes!! xDD

Answer 4

so let me start Jamie's comprehensive lesson :3 give me a few hours, I will give a live demonstration on the differences. For now, here is a lovely pic. to give you the idea. The differences are NOT paltry

Answer 5

on the right is violin right?

Answer 6

O_O the bigger one is the viola, violas also have deeper sounds as a result.

Answer 7

violin and viola bows look different as well, even though they are the same size. However, the viola bow is much heavier than the violin bow, so the sounds can still resonate and stay strong because the viola has deeper tones. Make sense so far?

I promise that live demonstration is coming xD

Answer 8

violins get all the fun stuff D:<
violas get a lot of the harmony stuff

Answer 9

oh yes, that's the beauty of it. That is why, ladies and gentlemen, why I play both ^_^

Answer 10

ok i am starting to see the difference

Answer 11

A Viola is larger than the violin and tuned a fifth lower.

Answer 12

mhm ^_^ and you'll really hear the difference once I start playing, for those of you who don't understand what a fifth is :P

and its not necessarily tuned down, it just happens to be a fifth lower because the strings are thicker and resonate more. Plus, the viola is a bigger instrument

Both are equally hard. Both have beautiful sounds. But viola needs more work on bow weight and control because of its thicker strings.
