> They are high

That they are. But so are kazoos.

> They dont cost much

Have you ever seen the price of an average violin?

> They are small

So are kazoos.

> They get all the melody

Bah! Humbug!

> They have the spot to the right

Violas are in the middle.

> They are really high
> They are not low

Can't argue with that.

> The D string is cool

Violas and cellos also have the D string.

> They are cheap

See above.

> They are easy to learn

Not as easy as a kazoo

> They are easy to tune

Not as easy as a kazoo

> They are not very low

Hold on a minute, I'm getting deja vu.

> On the "A" string it sounds really cool

Violas also have the A string (and it sounds cool on on the viola as well)

> They are not a bass
> They are not cellos
> They are not violas

They are not kazoos either.

> For cello you havve to buy a donut

So? Donuts are good. Especially the kind with sprinkles. Yum!

> Violas get the harmony

Bah! Humbug!

> Basses are too big

But they're the only insturment that can easily fit into both a jazz band and a string orchestra.

> The majority of the people play violins

If the majority of the people jumped off a bridge would you do that too?

M"going to go buy a kazoo now"el
