The viola is available in 14? – 17.5? but if you need a smaller viola, it is possible to put viola strings on a violin. The viola has four strings which are A, D, G and C.
Violin parts : Scroll – The violin scroll is mostly for decoration and is in the shape of a paper scroll. This part of the violin is unique to string instruments and is also found on the viola, cello, and bass. The scroll is usually hand carved and ads a beautiful touch to the violin. Ferule – The Violin Bow Ferule is a small metal piece that covers the hairs at the frog end of the bow. The hairs and wedged in place under the Ferule with a small piece of wood. The Hairs are not glued in so do not pull loose hairs out, cut broken bow hairs instead with nail clippers or scissors.
