I have a violin that I play rather poorly. I enjoy violin music, but have always found the notes on the E string to be painful to play and to listen to others play. Naturally, this suggests that the viola might be a better instrument for me. Is it possible for me to play more violin-oriented pieces on a viola? Would a five-string violin work better for my purposes? submitted by /u/YeOldeBard97 [link] [comments]
