Maple Leaf Strings’ LS130 5-string violin combines the 4 strings of the violin, with the C string of a viola, so that beginning strings teachers are able to demonstrate the part a violin, a viola, or a cello, all while using the same instrument.
This helps the students by being able to hear their parts played in the correct key and octave, and positions them to learn at a faster rate.
