> They are high
That they are. But so are kazoos.
> They dont cost much
Have you ever seen the price of an average violin?
> They are small
So are kazoos.
> They get all the melody
Bah! Humbug!
> They have the spot to the right
Violas are in the middle.
> They are really high > They are not low
Can't argue with that.
> The D string is cool
Violas and cellos also have the D string.
> They are cheap
See above.
> They are easy to learn
Not as easy as a kazoo
> They are easy to tune
Not as easy as a kazoo
> They are not very low
Hold on a minute, I'm getting deja vu.
> On the "A" string it sounds really cool
Violas also have the A string (and it sounds cool on on the viola as well)
> They are not a bass > They are not cellos > They are not violas
They are not kazoos either.
> For cello you havve to buy a donut
So? Donuts are good. Especially the kind with sprinkles. Yum!
> Violas get the harmony
Bah! Humbug!
> Basses are too big
But they're the only insturment that can easily fit into both a jazz band and a string orchestra. > The majority of the people play violins
If the majority of the people jumped off a bridge would you do that too?
M"going to go buy a kazoo now"el
