The Viola is the middle voice of the stringed instrument family which includes the violin, viola, cello and double bass.
The viola has a lower pitch than the violin and is equivalent in range to the tenor voice of a choir. In appearance, it is almost identical to the violin but slightly larger; its strings are tuned a fifth lower in pitch.
The viola produces a tone that is darker and warmer than that of the violin.
Available in antique brown,16" scale only. The Yamaha SVV-200 Silent Electric Viola offers all the advantages of an electric instrument - easy amplification without feedback, the use of effects, silent practice, etc. - while still feeling, playing and sounding similar to a high quality acoustic viola. It is a perfect instrument for performances at concert halls, studios or outdoor stages.
