Viola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2281 words)
The viola (in French, 'alto'; in German 'Bratsche') is a stringed musical instrument played with a bow which serves as the middle voice of the violin family, between the upper lines played by the higher violin (soprano register) and the lower lines played by the deeper cello (bass) and double bass.
The viola bow is slightly shorter (74.0 rather than 74.5 cm) than that of the violin, with a wider band of horse-hair, particularly noticeable near the frog (or 'heel' in the UK).
Violas are tuned by turning the pegs near the scroll, around which the strings are wrapped.
