My new viola marketplace find!

Local marketplace find. My story is I'm an adult learner who was looking for a viola after starting violin for less than a year. With aspirations of joining a string section someday in a community orchestra and figured viola might be a better option. Not looking to invest a ton at my level. Its a sherl and roth German import strad copy from 1975 that seems like it has sat in its case since then. 16.25. The bow seems to have brown hair and be the same size as my violin bow.

150 bucks. It was missing the middle two strings so I upgraded the middle two with dominant. Now im working diligently on reading alto clef after getting really good at treble clef for violin. Are there any other viola players who Moonlight on the violin? Or do you all recommend focusing on just one. Since I'm new to strings, but not to music, not sure how common this is.

Got this for 160 at my local antique shop. Internet tells me its bill curry stemlite. Most are acorns or mushrooms. This seems to be a lollipop design which seem way more rare in terms of images google returns. Enjoy !
