Some of today’s music's biggest names are synonymous with the violin, from Anne-Sophie Mutter, Nigel Kennedy and Hilary Hahn to Australians Richard Tognetti, Christian Li and Ray Chen. Australia voted the violin at #3 in the Classic 100: Your Favourite Instrument.

I enjoyed reading the list. Of course the viola was not first only because nobody plays it and there’s not enough music written for it.
