Size and Tuning:
The viola is larger than a violin, with a body length typically between 15.5 and 16.5 inches (39-42 cm). Its four strings are tuned in perfect fifths: C, G, D', and A' (starting from the lowest string).
Tone and Role:
The viola has a darker, warmer, and more resonant tone than the violin, making it ideal for solo passages and blending with other instruments. It's a key instrument in string quartets and larger chamber music ensembles, as well as a mainstay of the symphony orchestra.
