A string instrument that looks much like a violin. But it's bigger.
A string instrument with the same string base notes as a cello. Deeper sound than a violin.
A string instrument many are not even aware exists. Included in every orchestral arrangement.
A string instrument that's older than all of today's main orchestral instruments. However, not given the same glory and recognition as a violin due to it's harmonic sound.

It is an instrument often overshadowed, but its qualities deserved to be praised. I, myself, play the Viola and find it to be unfortunate that it lacks acknowledgment by the majority.
