Viola.. Voila!
Saturday my viola came in. I had picked it out the week before at Blue Moon Music in Fayetteville, Ar, after playing just about every stringed instrument in the shop! I played a whole wall of violins before I picked up the viola- just for kicks. This instrument produces the most amazing sound that I have ever heard! The only way to describe it is ooober resonant, and every time I touch the thing I get chills.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to play it. Although I have played violin for almost ten years, I hadn't even heard about Alto clef until this past week.
I ordered the Essential Elements for strings books, so hopefully I will progress quickly.
With all of the warmth in the past week, I have really been itching to get my hands on some banjo again. Every spring I get the same urge for old-time music- and it's coming early this year. Hopefully I will meet some people with the same passion for archaic music here in Little Rock. I have pretty much decided that my banjo isn't worth repairing. The neck has been broken three times now, and its a crap banjo anyway. Maybe I can build my own? Hmm... There might be more on that later.
