Have you considered the viola as an instrument of choice?
Viola is a great choice for anyone looking for an interesting instrument to learn. The viola is well known as a string instrument that fills the gap between the violin and cello. Pitched lower than a violin but higher than the cello, the viola is frequently viewed as a harmonising instrument.
The viola is often known as the Cinderella of the orchestra because it’s kind of forgotten about and neglected. Does that mean that you should follow the crowd and take up another instrument? No! It actually means that if you become proficient and take up viola playing as a career or a lucrative hobby, you will face far less competition and stand a better chance of gaining the choice parts in the orchestra.
