        @barliman2001 I grew up in a home where both of my parents were music teachers. Dad was a HS band director, and Mom was a violin teacher. Living in a house where most afternoons, the house would be filled with the awful sounds of beginner violin students was... well, let's just say that I could have done without it. Although, I did actually play the viola in middle school and HS, only partially against my will. (Clearly, the horn won.)

        Those of you that don't know the difference between a violin and a viola...

        Violas burn longer! (Unless they are also made of brass.)

        Do luthiers know how to do proper dent removal? -Bob

          @bobmiller1969 As to viola... how do you prevent a valuable violin from being stolen? -
          Put it in a viola case.

          What did the penniless viola player do at the end of the month? -
          Went into a bank, took the viola out and said, "All the money, or I'll play!"

          ... and many, many returns...

              Ok. There's one more, especially for your Mum:
              The little boy just does not want to go to sleep. The parents have already tried everything. Finally, the father says, "Ok, I'll get my viola and play something." - "Oh no," says Mum. "Don't resort to violence!"
