A violist in an orchestra was crying and screaming at the oboe player sitting directly behind him. The conductor asked, "What are you so upset about?"
The violist replied "The oboist reached over and turned one of the pegs on my viola and now it's all out of tune!"
The conductor asked "Don't you think you're overreacting?"
The violist replied "I'm not overreacting! He won't tell me which one!"

Ok so there's a first violin, a second violin, a violist and a double bass player around a $100 bill. Who takes the bill?

The second violin! Because the double bass is too lazy to move, the violist did not get what's happening and the first violin won't move for only $100

St. Peter's still checking ID's. He asks a man, "What did you do on Earth?"
The man says, "I was a doctor." St. Peter says, "Ok, go right through those pearly gates. Next!
What did you do on Earth?"
"I was a school teacher."
"Go right through those pearly gates. Next!
And what did you do on Earth?"
"I was a musician."
"Go around the side, up the freight elevator, through the kitchen..."

Why does a viola looks bigger then a violin?
Optical illusion, it's the violinist head who's in fact a lot bigger.

Well at least the violin, viola and double bass have that beautiful hour glass shape in common. It doesn't matter about the size but it is how beautiful you can make her sing.

What's the difference between a herd of deers and a symphony?

--> With the deers it's the woods that are to the front the the a**holes in the back!

 

Ok why are all violin jokes picturing violinists as the bad guys? lol and violist as stupid?

I have a few more I'm translating from french:

What can you do to protect your violin from thieves?
--> use a viola case!

Why violists dislike Kama-Sutra?
--> too many positions!

What's the difference between a violist and a terrorist?
--> the terrorist has sympatizers!

 

ok time to bash on violins also!

What do a violinist and a lawsuit have in common?
--> Everybody is happy when the case is closed.

Why is a violinist's fingers like lightening?
--> They never strike the same place twice!

Why don't viola players suffer from piles (hæmorrhoids)?
--> Because all the buttholes are in the first violin section.

Two guys sat on a park bench,
One of them, the younger one, was a musician and had clearly had a skinfull the night before.

The older guy, looked at him and said "you need to take more care if yourself! Look at you!
I've never touched alcohol or tobacco, never used profanity, and certainly never had pleasures of the flesh with a woman.
And tomorrow, I'll be celebrating my 100th birthday!"
The musician said,
"How?"

Then there was a golfer who drove his golf ball through the picture window of the club house.  The club pro came charging out and the golfer was ready for a harsh reprimand and assessment of damages. 

"What should I do?" pleaded the golfer.

"Try turning your wrist a little" the Pro replied.

The viola jokes are common because the violin people are jealous of the great sound and wonderful low end.  Some of the greatest composers played viola as their personal favorite. 

(I am somewhat offended to see a skinny little girl playing a 16" viola without a shoulder rest!)(child abuse?)

When Laozi said: "the most beautiful music is Silence!" he was talking to the viola section :p

 

A conductor, lost in a desert and parched suddenly meet a violist playing with brio! When he sees the poor conductor he offers him some water but the maestro refuses and pass him by. Why?

--> a violist playing in tune and brilliantly? Nah surely a mirage.

What is the difference between a violinist transposing a piece from C to E flat and a locksmith?

-the locksmith knows how to change keys and actually get paid for it.

 

Why do some violinists lay a handkerchief over the chinrest before playing?

-violins don't have a spit valve.

 

(part of the fun of any instrument is learning the jokes that go with it)

At a rehearsal, the conductor stops and shouts to the bass section: "You are out of tune. Check it, please!"

The first bassist pulls all his strings, says, "Our tuning is correct: all the strings are equally tight."

The first violist turns around and shouts, "You bloody idiot! It's not the tension. The pegs have to be parallel!"
