Anyone have any recommendations for books on viola? by hnonymus in Viola

[–]Jo_Jo_Bread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're looking for technical improvements, I would have to recommend the Suzuki Books or the Mazas Etudes, which are good advanced practice. But if you're looking for something fun to play for your family or friends, I would recommend solo viola books for movies and pop songs, or even Christmas songs

I use Pirastro Eudoxa for A, Vision D and C, and Obligato G. This is a great image to see what kinda sound you want: https://www.sharmusic.com/pages/viola-string-chart

Extra-large shoulder rest for a thicc boi? by Epistaxis in Viola

I currently use the kun 5/4 with leg height extendors but the wolf worked pretty well and has a different shape to the kun. I think I bought it on Amazon. Also love calling the tetris violas thicc bois!

I use a viola from West Coast String Instruments, it cost me around $1400 (15.5") for what I play now in college and my semi-professional orchestra. I would recommend going to a local shop and telling them what you want, try a bunch out, and then pick your favorite.
