OK, Karen...nice and easy...slowly step away from the C String, and no on will get hurt...

Really, Good Luck! The viola is much better therefore giving it a greater deeper sound. I think that is what you are experiencing. When my violin was getting fixed I was using a friends, and it had a much brighter (possibly too bright) of a sound. It felt so weird, and then when I got mine back, it sounded so weird also, but exactally the opposite, really dark and clear. It took a few weeks to get used to it again.
