16 Inch Viola
What is a viola instrument?
The viola is a string instrument that shares similarities with the violin and cello. It is distinguished by its slightly larger size than the violin, resulting in a lower and deeper sound. Equipped with four strings — C, G, D, and A — the viola’s body measures between 37 to 43 cm (14.5 to 17 inches), which is around 5 cm (2 inches) longer than a violin, Ariose Music’s Violas size has 12″,13″,14″,15″,15.5″, 16″.

Product Description
16 Inch Viola Features
Ariose Music’s viola, an instrument in the string family, possesses several distinctive features:
- Size: Typically larger than a violin, the viola offers a body length of about 37 to 43 cm (14.5 to 17 inches).
- Tuning: The viola is tuned to C, G, D, and A, which is a perfect fifth below the violin.
- Sound: It produces a rich, warm, and deeper sound, attributed to its larger size and lower tuning.
- Range: The viola plays in the alto range, filling a unique harmonic and melodic role in ensembles and orchestras.
- Role in Music: Often employed to play the inner harmonies in string quartets and orchestras, the viola is crucial for balance and depth in ensemble performances.
- Design: Similar in construction to the violin, but with subtle differences in the shape and thickness of the wood, which contribute to its unique sound.
The viola, while not as prominent as the violin, is essential in orchestral and chamber music for its ability to bridge the tonal gap between the violin and the cello.
