Why is the viola in the string family?

Because the viola does, itself, have strings. The viola is played with a bow as is a violin. The viola is the slightly larger counterpart to the violin and, because comparatively few people are learning the viola now, there is an increasing demand for viola players. It is, for example, comparatively easy for viola players to get scholarships to many universities as compared with those who play other instruments because viola players are dwindling as a whole.
