Well, for starters, you probably don't want to buy a viola/violin until you KNOW you want to play that instrument. It's harder to sell them.
So, you probably want to rent a 4/4 viola/violin.
They're pretty cheap, and the viola's really easy to pick up.
It doesn't really matter for beginners, which type to get.
But it's completely different than playing the electric guitar. There aren't frets on a violin, and you're yanked around a different way.
Hope I helped ^^
The only thing I'm not sure about, is choosing between the two, I want the low sound of the Viola, but I also want to do lead-work, like I do on guitar, but the Viola is commonly a background sound, so if I could pick up both I would but this is american economy and I'm not exactly in the high class. What's a 4/4? And I know it's different guitar, I just felt the need to get out of the way my flexibility and familiarity with string instruments, in case you recommended getting calis or something.
Well, I'm a violinist, and I <3 it. I detest being in the background of a piece. If I were you, I'd pick the violin. And also, if you really want to play the viola later, it's an easy transition. Also, 4/4 means it's full size. there's anywhere from 4/4 to 1/8 depending on your size. I'm 5"4 and I'm in a full size.
Hmm, I'll ask my little sister what size her's is, because I know it's smaller, since she's only 10 and in elementary school. I tend to use everything regular size, instruments, vehicles, pool tables, clothes, tv preferences, so basically if 4/4 is the norm then yeah, and that's my height too.
Covering other songs is not my main purpose for picking up this beautiful string instrument, but definitely something I'd like to do, and one song I have in mind is
christmas canon and I'm in love with the lead role since I also play it on guitar lead too, so if Violin would be a better choice of instrument for me, then I might take up that first (not instead).
