Viola vs Violin

So here is my new viola. Unlike violins, violas don't have standard sizes. This one is a "14 so it's theoretically the same size as a violin, but just with a deeper body to compensate for the lower strings. I'm not quite sure that works out well, but it does make it easier to switch from one to the other.

I do a little side by side comparison. Please ignore my sucky playing. This is just a tone comparison. Big props to whomever can guess both fiddle tunes I'm fooling around with.

@dustinboatright113 Agreed, that's why I asked you to "please ignore my sucky playing" in the description.
