A bit of a bump.
Merry Christmas, here are two sub-par recordings of me playing. Watch and laugh at my bow arm technique.

Sub par meaning they're not bad for me but they aren't great recordings.
Slowpoke:
So my dad's friend just handed me down this nice old 88-key.
Major improvement over my old one, but wow, it's huge. I don't know where to put it.

i'm VERY SORRY if i sound insulting by asking this, but it's a serious question.
in those recordings, did you play slightly off pitch at some notes? or is the tune a little bit strange because it's done for the viola parts?
i'm asking this because
1) i'm thinking of picking up a new instrument, trying to decide between viola and violin, so i'd like to learn more about the nature of the instrument before i actually start.
2) i'm not very pitch-sensitive
Benny1:
The intonation is off, yes. It's not because of the instrument or anything, it's because of mistakes on my part.
The first piece though doesn't sound quite right because of it being a violin piece played on viola, but that doesn't make it sound more out of tune, any tune mistakes are definitely mine.
And don't worry about it, I can hear them myself, haha.
Kitsumi:
I play the violin. I'm pretty good at it, but I wish I took a different instrument growing up, like the piano or guitar. It's so hard to find sheet music for Touhou/animu songs.
