What Size Viola is Best for Me?
Selecting the right viola size is crucial for optimal sound and comfort. This video explores how the dimensions of your viola influence tone quality, playability, and overall experience, offering practical advice to help you find the perfect fit for your musical journey.
Do you prefer a tenor sound, or perhaps more of an alto sound? Once you’ve tried some violas and are sure of the fundamentals – if the size is correct, ask yourself what tone colour suits your soul. There’s only one way to truly know and that is by playing different violas… when you pick up the right instrument ‘for you’, you’ll know. It will just feel right!
