For the flower, please see viola (plant).
The viola was an Earth musical instrument, bigger than a violin and smaller than the cello and double bass.
A Vulcan viola player was among the musicians at a string quartet recital in Ten Forward in 2366 that also featured Lieutenant Commander Data on the violin and Miles O'Brien on the cello. (TNG: "The Ensigns of Command")
In 2370, Juliana Tainer played the viola part accompanying Data's performance of a piece by Georg Friedrich Händel. (TNG: "Inheritance")
