The viola is a bowed instrument which is larger than
the violin, and has a deeper sound. Between 1550 and
1700 two violas existed one called "tenor' viola and
the other the "alto" viola. These two instruments were
tuned the same as the modern viola but the tenor viola
was longer in size. The tenor fell out of use after
1700 due to it being to large to be played
comfortably.
Subsequently the alto viola became known simply as the
"viola", although in French the instrument is called
the "alto".
Since the 1700s it has played the role of the middle
voice of the violin family; the violin is tuned a
perfect 5th above the viola, while the cello is tuned
an octave below.
