Lesson, here I come . . .

December 26, 2007 at 12:24 PM

When I posted about starting lessons and not being able to decide on violin vs. viola, someone suggested I get a violin/viola double case and bring both instruments to my lesson. I got one for Christmas:

The viola part is too big for my viola, which I knew would happen. The description said it will fit up to a 17" viola (mine is 15.5"). I'm thinking I will put a cloth in the space next to it to keep it from sliding around.

Also, the interior is green! I was complaining about my rental viola case being green in the spring. So much so that when I bought my real viola I made sure to get a blue case. But this is a better green. It could grow on me. I think the instruments look quite nice in there.

Maybe your viola will grow into its compartment like my kids used to grow into clothes that were too big. Happy holidays!
I wish you lots of enjoyment with both of your instruments now and in the coming year.
