cooperman	Violin or Viola for adult beginner? (39)	RE: Violin or Viola for adult beginner?	29 Jan 13
Violas can be tuned as a large-bodied baritone violin, i.e. playing G-D-A-E but one octave lower than violin, as follows :- G = Super-Sensitive Octave (!not Octava) Viola G D = Super-Sensitive Octave (!not Octava) Viola D A = Super-Sensitive Octave (!not Octava) Viola A E = Pirastro Evah (or similar) plain Viola D tuned up to E (16"viola normally CGDA) I like the deeper sound of the viola but being a mandolin player I prefer GDAE tuning so I'm going to try the above. Anyone tried it? The strings are specials though so quite expensive.
