viola

The viola is a member of the violin family. It is slightly larger than the violin and has a deeper pitch in comparison (a fifth lower in range). It is also in the 'middle register' of the string family. It is tuned CGDA. Although not as popular as the violin, it is still a vital part of the orchestra.
