	VIOLIN, VIOLA, FIDDLE & CELLO


	The viola is a stringed musical instrument which serves as the middle voice of the violin family, between the upper lines played by the violin and the lower lines played by the cello and double bass. The viola is similar in materials and construction to the violin but is larger in size and more variable in its proportions. Its body length is between one and four inches greater than the violin. The viola's four strings are tuned in fifths: the C an octave below middle C is the lowest, with G, D and A above it. This tuning is exactly one fifth below the violin and one octave above the cello.
