Violists on IMSLP
I just noticed that there are more users registered as violist than as violinist on IMSLP. Statistical issues put aside, I think this is very interesting, as there are more violinists than violists. This can only be because violists are more interested in what's on their music stand than violinists. A less cynical explanation could be that they're looking for scores more because the repertoire is so much smaller.

May be because whatever you put on a music stand of an average violinist it sound always at the same way.........

I've heard that a viola is not really bigger than a violin - the violin just looks smaller because the violinist's head is so much bigger.
Is that true?
