Viola

What do you call it when someone throws a viola in a dumpster?

Perfect pitch.

But seriously folks... viola is a cool instrument, it's just for some reason musicians always joke about it, along with banjos and accordions.

I use this one mostly when layering string parts, creating a string section when a live one is not on hand.
