   I prefer the Viola over the Violin. I love the full, deeper sound it produces. Thanks for the video.

   @keysomay: the best way to switch strings is just go for it and don’t hesitate, because that way you don’t play both of them at the same time when it’s not supposed to, you just have to make a clean switch by using your full arm, I don’t know if it’s in general or just with a fast piece, but you just have to go for it
   also check out professor V (user/professorV) he has some great video’s on violin technique =)

    I play the viola and I absolutly love it! Though the violin is a gorgeous instrument, the viola, in MY opinion, has a much more beautiful sound. But mostly it depends on the song. The viola is so underappreciate!

    @caralhosvosfodam are you stupid? That’s like saying, oh a bass is just a bigger instrument with four strings and tuned lower.

    They were made at completely different times, they’re totally different instruments

    @caralhosvosfodam On that accord, why call the cello a cello? Why not call it a violin? It’s just a bigger instrument with different strings.
    Your logic is a failure.

    I wanted to play the viola but they don’t teach it at my school, so now I play the violin, though my teacher has played the viola for 2 or 3 years in an orchestra,
    maybe when I’m better at the violin, I’ll trespass onto the viola, just to see if I like it as well

    but I like both of them so I don’t quit get why viola and violin players are like: oh, my instrument is better
