Question

What is the difference between a violin and a viola.

Answer 1

So what are the differences between a viola and violin? The most obvious difference you'll notice when you place a violin and viola next to each other is their size. The viola is bigger, with an average body length of between 15.5 and 16.5 inches for adults, compared to the violin which is between 13 and 14 inches.

Answer 2

A violin is smaller and can make higher pitches. It can also be transported easily. A viola is a much bigger version of the violin. It is very hard to transport and it has a much lower tone than the violin.
