What is the difference - Violin and Viola
Ching Juhl explaining the difference between the violin and the viola.
This viola is for sale.The viola, in this video, labeled by as by Hungary maker Bergman Adreas, 1899 is for sale. It was played in Chicago Symphony musician in the 1940s - 1970s. It is in good condition. DM me if you are interested.
I share a few string instruments buying tips. For collecting, pay attention to maker’s name and authenticity and condition. For performing, pay attention to the sound, instrument condition and the workmanship.
For students, pick the right size, condition and with descent sound. Check my KZread channel Juhl Media under SHORTS, go to the most popular video, and check the sound.

Personally, I regret choosing to play the viola over the violin. The music parts in my high school orchestra are so much more boring, and there are only 3 of us compared to the 12 violins. Plus, whenever I am carrying my case around, people always think it’s a violin. Then when I tell them it’s a viola, they say “what’s a viola?” 😂
@Fufuwasher

@@weirdoodles That's no reason to regret choosing the viola. Repertoire in high school is obviously going to be very simple, especially for an instrument like viola. Your orchestra doesn't have the goal of actually challenging the people within it, which makes sense considering that 90% of the people in it have played their instrument for a maximum of 2 years. You could join a community orchestra or an orchestra outside of school. Also, if you've played the instrument for a while, I don't see why you should be insecure or anything when someone asks you what a viola is. I, and maybe you, play music for myself and others' pleasure, not to impress people with the instrument I play.

@@weirdoodlesadding on to what fufuwasher was saying, you also should look at how many people choose the violin over the viola. So there's countless violinists, and thus harder to compete for a place in an orchestra. But there's less violists, meaning less competition and easier to stand out. You know what I mean? Also, it's a good thing that you get to explain what the viola is! You get to be the one who introduces a new instrument to people, and who knows who might be inspired to pick it up as well! Or even just introduced to viola music they've never heard before!
Great Video! Nice resource to show students who are not familiar with the differences.

Viola is bigger and heavier, it will be more work to play the instrument. In orchestral or chamber music scores, viola parts have less notes than that of thee violin. The sound of the viola attracts me when I was 15. I switched from the violin to the viola. Tomorrow, 12/13 at 5 PM EST, I will be interviewing my son Sean Juhl on this channel - LIVE podcast. He studied violin at 5, switched to the viola when he was 14. Last year, he joined the Pittsburgh Symphony. When are you located? How long have you been playing the violin?

You can switch between the violin and the viola. Many violists started playing the violin first. Cello playing's position, the left hand and the right hand are very different from the violin and the viola. Violinist read treble clef while viola players read alto clef and treble clef.

Where do you live? What is your budget? Try Shar Music, an online store. They have many choices. If you are a beginner, $500-1000 will do. A decent viola bow coats $600-2000. I suggest to buy a Fiddler fiber glass bow, and it cost about $70. Check it on Amazon.

The basic playing methods are the same. But, viola is 2 inches bigger and heavier than the violin. The sound production is different. A good violist can play the violin well. But violinists need to study how to play the viola, working on the relationships between the bow and the strings.

seems this is the theme in the comments, but it's true! I'm a violinist, but viola is beautiful and the range looks fun!! there are so many times I'm just playing a song (i do a LOT by ear and i transpose by ear often for fun) and I'm pretty far into the song until I realize there's a note that I don't have. Viola seems to go so low, even if it's only five notes. I'd love to pick it up as a new instrument, but alas, I'm already a trumpet player as well and I'm in acapella 🥲 (I don't have time to do yet another thing as I'm also a field hockey player, lacrosse player, and high schooler)
