Viola is a beautiful, loving, socially conscious girl with a great sense of humor. She has amazing fashion sense and everyone wants to be her friend. She has been throught the ups and downs of life, and know just what to say when you are feeling down. She is a wonderful person to be around. Everything she does if for the good of the people around her. She is the most amazing person to have as a friend. If you know a Viola, you are one lucky person.

The Viola is the second highest instrument in the string orchestra, and it is bigger than a violin. Although, it is often mistakenly thought as a violin. The strings from highest to lowest, are A4, D4, G3, and C3. It is also tuned in fifths, and reads Alto clef.

A four-stringed instrument that looks like a slighlty larger violin, but oncloser inpection its sound is more like that of a cello. Very smooth, mellow sound, but usually they get the shitty parts.

a cute girl who seems strong and independent but has gone through a lot and is actually broken inside. she has a great sense of humour and can also be selfish sometimes. she has amazing fashion sense and the best taste in music. she's savage and has the best roasts but also cares about your feelings. she could ruin your life, so you're lucky if she likes you. she's an amazing friend and always ready to have fun.
Viola is an amazing girl!

One of the five major stringed instruments. Tuned in a middle register, exactly an octave higher than the cello. Music written primarily in alto clef, occasionally treble. The brunt of many, many jokes.
What do you do with a dead viola player? Move him back a desk.
But why are viola jokes so short? So violin players can understand them.

A glorious stringed instrument that creates a rich, warm tone when played, unlike the violin which can sound like someone is strangling a cat -- sometimes several cats. Either orchestras have barely any violas, or so many they have no idea what to do with all of them.
Hey, how big is your viola section?
About fifteen, this year.
Good, maybe you can drown out the violins. How many of them are there?
About sixteen.
Yes! We're coming up!
