... price from about £200 for a beginners instrument up to many thousands of pounds. They rarely reach the giddy prices of a violin, however! JOKE 4: Why do violists panic when they see the Kama Sutra? Ooh! All those positions! The viola has many fans and some surprising players. I bet you didn't know that Jimmy Hendrix was a keen viola player? I do play the viola, but due to my small stature I find it a big strain on my back, so these days I concentrate on the violin. I do have three viola playing...more

Yet players have a reputation for playing out of tune: How can you tell if a violist is playing out of tune? The bow is moving! And for ... Read the complete review
