What is the difference between a viola and a viola d'amore?

No, there are several different differences between the instruments in the viol, or viola da gamba, family and those in the violin family.Some of the differences that actually affect playing or sound are:The viol family has frets, but the violin family does not.The viol family's sound boxes are deeper than those of the violin family.The viol family's strings are under less tensionThe bows of viols are held with the palm facing upward, those for the violin family are held with the palm facing down.Even the smallest viols are played with the instrument held vertically.Viols usually have six strings; violins usually have four.The bow of the viol has a convex curve; that of the violin is concave.There are a number of differences that do not affect sound or playing, and are mostly cosmetic. Among them are these:The shoulders of the viol slope into the neck; those of the violin meet it at a right angle.The viol has a flat back, but the violin's back bulges.The viol has a carved human head or other individual device at the top of the peg box, but the violin has a scroll fiddlehead.The instruments are also used differently.

The violin is intended to be more versatile in this respect, making it more suitable to be a solo instrument for a virtuoso.
