    I just heard this one on Classic FM:

    Q. What's the difference between a viola and a trampoline?
    A. Generally you take your shoes off before jumping on a trampoline.

    But my favourite is still:

    Q. What is the difference between a viola and a chain-saw?
    A. If pushed you can use a chain-saw in a string quartet.

    A viola playing friend has asked me to respond.

    Q: Why can't many bass players get through the door?
    A:They either can't find the key or don't know when to come in.

    Q: How do you know when the stage is level?
    A: When the bass player is drooling out of both sides of his mouth.

    Q: What did the bassist do when he was told to turn on his amp?
    A: He caressed it softly and told it that he loved it.

    Q: What do you call someone who hangs around with musicians?
    A: A Bass Player.

    Son: "Daddy, I want to grow up and be a bass player."
    Father: "Son, you can't have it both ways. "

    Q: Why don't bass players ever catch a cold?
    A: Even a virus has some pride.

    Q: What did the bass player get on his IQ test?
    A: Drool.

    Q: What's the difference between a bass player and a mutual fund?
    A: One matures.

    Q: How do you make a bassist's eyes light up?
    A: Shine a flashlight in his ear.

    Q: Why are there bass solos?
    A: So the audience has something to talk over.

    Q What's the difference between the viola players on the front desk and those on the back?

    A About a bar.



    Viola player, sick of all the jokes decides to learn a new instrument:
    Viola Player: I would like to buy a clarinet please.
    Shopkeeper: You're a viola player aren't you
    Viola player: How do you know?
    Shopkeeper: Because this is a fish and chip shop.
