The
viola has four strings tuned in fifths (C G
D A).

On
average, the viola is 5 cm longer than the violin; unlike
the violin and the cello, however, who have relatively standard
norms, its size may vary by 8 cm from one instrument to another!
Despite such disparties, its timbre is perfectly recognisable,
for its deep tone quality is warm and veiled while its
high notes are bright.
