Daniel, I have no instrument to suggest, but I do have a question...

What's the deal with viola jokes?

What is the range of a Viola?
As far as you can kick it.

What's the difference between a chain saw and a viola?
If you absolutely had to, you could use a chain saw in a string quartet.

What's the similarity between the Beatles and the viola section of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra?
Neither has played together since 1970.

Victor Borge's dad was a viola player. He wrote those jokes, and "what's the difference between a violin and a viola? Viola burns longer"
