It's a problem simply because it's kind of the "other stringed instrument" in the orchestra (aside from the harp), and not a lot of people aspire to be a "violist"..... Hence the pool of musicians is substantially smaller.... (Unfortunate, because it has a unique sound, in spite of its similar shape. I know William Primrose and Pinchas Zukerman are great violists, but I can't think of anyone else off my head, where I can maybe think of 20 violinists and 10 cellists.)I once heard a joke that's kind of a corollary to yours.... How does a musician best improve his chances to win membership to a symphony orchestra? Dump his current instrument and take up the viola.
