Let me introduce myself. I`m Celia, I live in Spain and I`m 15 years old. I play the viola since I was 10. I never wanted to play the violin because I love the sound of the viola. I don`t know why is the viola so unpopular, I will always play the viola and I think that my future is in the music. I hate hearing bad jokes about the viola, why not the violin???

don`t take it personally. we all know that people are different. but even i must admit, i know a violist that i dislike. not that all violist are jerks, heck it might just be a few of them. don`t take it personally. and about those jokes, change viola to violin or cello, and it would still make sense. there aren`t specific viola jokes, just general string jokes.
