When I first got my viola, I had a hard time controlling the bow. I found that as I gained control of the violin bow, it would translate to the viola bow but at a slower rate. The viola was also harder on my shoulder, as the hand in first position is farther away from the body, and the weight is increased. I was only able to play for a short time before my shoulder started aching. I started lifting weights two years ago and as my upper body strength increased it made it easier to play the viola for extended periods of time.
