Violins were a later development, taking over in the 17th century from the older family of viols which had been more popular.
The stately chords and melodic lines that emerge from plucked viols produce a mellower tone than bowed string instruments.
What is a "viol"?

A viol is a stringed instrument with a flat back and sides, similar to a violin but with a wider body and a longer neck. It typically has six or seven strings and is played with a bow. The viol is known for its rich, mellow sound and was commonly used in Renaissance and Baroque music. As an early predecessor to the modern violin, the viol laid the groundwork for the development of violin family instruments. It comes in various sizes, including tenor, bass, and treble, allowing it to play different ranges of music. The viol’s distinct tone and historical significance make it an important instrument in early classical music ensembles.

What is a "viola"?

A viola is a stringed instrument that is slightly larger than a violin but smaller than a cello. It has a rich, warm sound and is played with a bow. The viola has four strings, and its notes are five notes lower than those of the violin, which gives it a deeper and mellower tone. It is commonly used in orchestras and chamber music, where it often plays harmonies and inner parts that support the melodies played by other instruments. The viola's distinctive sound adds depth and richness to both classical and contemporary music.
