Besides the strings how can you tell Violin apart from Viola?

There are several ways to tell a violin apart from a viola, besides the strings:

1. Size: Violas are generally larger than violins, with an average body length of around 16.5 inches compared to 14 inches for violins.

2. Shape: The body of a viola is slightly wider and deeper than that of a violin, and the shoulders are more rounded.

3. Scroll: The scroll of a viola is typically larger and more ornate than that of a violin.

4. Fingerboard: The fingerboard of a viola is longer and wider than that of a violin, and the spacing between the frets is greater.

5. Strings: Violas have four strings, tuned C, G, D, and A, whereas violins have four strings tuned G, D, A, and E.

6. Sound: Violas have a lower, richer sound than violins, due to their larger size and lower string tension.
