A viola is a musical instrument in the string family, slightly larger than a violin, with a deeper and richer sound.

用法与细微差别

'Viola' is formal and mainly used in classical music contexts; it is not pronounced like the name (it is 'vee-OH-luh'). Do not confuse with 'violin' (smaller) or 'cello' (larger, deeper). 'Play the viola' is the standard collocation.
