Acoustic Violas
Known for its rich, warm sound, the acoustic viola has been the middle voice of the violin family since the 18th century. Heard in string quartets and orchestras around the world, the acoustic viola has brought an unmistakable mellow tone to the work of many famous composers, including Mozart, Dvorak, Bach and Beethoven. The viola has carved out a place for itself in modern music as well. Alt rock bands like 10,000 Maniacs and the Imagine Dragons rely on the viola to provide the haunting undertones you hear on some of their chart-topping hits.
