This is extremely helpful!! My middle school teacher never taught us how to tune so when I wanted to pick the viola up again I realized I never knew how to tune, so thank you for this!
So true! I was in Orchestra class and the next year our music teacher left. So I kept the Viola and I realized that my A string was lose and I was scared until I found this Video Lmao 😂
Thank you for this! I decided to pick up viola to have a hobby that doesn't require looking at the screen during lockdown, and almost immediately snapped my A string because I was using the pegs and didn't know better. Were it not for this video I probably would have broken many more before realising what I was doing wrong ^^;
Thank you so much for this! I’ve been playing viola for 3 years but I currently wanted to become more serious about this so learning how to tune will definitely help!
My new Viola is Acoustic Electric, & since alot of them are often too small to resonate properly, using the Pickup & plugging it into the amp helped me work around this issue. That said, Carleen Hutchins cleverly solved the playability problem of those Larger Violas that optimized for the notes it produces by reorienting it to be played vertically like a Cello, since the body is big enough for that too.
I just got a new Eastman 5 String Acoustic-Electric Viola (model VA7015+ 16.5 inch model, they have a 17 inch version coming soon) which they had it fitted w/ Wittner Fine Tune Pegs so it's easier to tune. The neat thing about this 5 String Viola is that it features a High E String (like the Violin) which allows me to get some higher notes (it's strung w/ D'addario Helicore Long Scale Medium Tension Viola Strings plus a Matching High E String for ease of playability) & for super big versatility. Eastman is best known for their innovative quality instruments modeled after instruments from famous Luthiers. The bow that came w/ mine is a CodaBow Joule & the regular Bow hair was replaced w/ Coruss Synthetic Bow hair so it's more durable (the Rosin is D'addairo's new Clarity Synthetic Rosin).
I was thinking of trying a viola for music and this was really helpful to learn a bit about the intrument before actually playing it or atleast get a chance to play it and not risk of damaging the violin

My middle school teacher said that we didn’t need to know how to tune, now the high school is asking me why I don’t know how. This video really helped

Hey Mrs Morris
Tell mr again the name of the viola tumer app that you recommend please. Thanks
I have been playing Viola for 2 years and I find that insTuner works well :)
She said tuner lite sorry for being late
thanks for tuturial but whats the name of the app?
Tuner Lite
None of the tuning apps for viola seem to work.
I struggle with the pegs being loose enough to turn but tight enough to hold
You might need some ‘peg compound’. You might need a teacher or luthiers help to apply it.
@@teacherofstrings thank you. I'll look one up
I don't see her showing the app working for her either.
PLEASE SPEAK UP
