Hi all~

Kinda stumbled upon this site and hope to get some opinions and such.

Well, I'm planning to take up either violin or viola lessons.

Since I'm in my late teens, I think I should be using a 4/4 violin right?! What about viola?

My uncle bought this violin 20 years back , brand's Parrot and I think it's made in China. Is this a standard violin to start off with? As in the sound qualities and so on... Or should I get a new violin? If so, any to recommend? Something that's not too expensive. I know there is this brand, Prillante... is it good?

Besides the size and sound difference between violin and viola, are there any other that I should be aware of? If I were to start with either one first, is violin a better choice?

Oh, I play the piano and a couple of brass instruments ... just thought I'd add this if it's of any help.

Thanks for reading and replies, I'm really lost and really hope someone or anyone can help me! Thank you!!!!!
