In Villa Rica, a viola should feel balanced under the chin and comfortable in the left hand, so try more than one size with a knowledgeable shop employee before choosing. Try each viola in playing position and check its fit, rather than choosing by appearance alone. Check that the bow feels manageable and that the strings sit at a comfortable height. Try different chinrests and shoulder rests: a support that works on one viola may feel unstable on another. In Villa Rica, a simple case spot and a music stand can make regular practice easier. Keep the instrument dry, wipe rosin from the strings after playing, and have a qualified repairer handle adjustments.
