Stringed instrument that's bowed (5)

I believe the answer is:

viola

(Other definitions for viola that I've seen before include "Large fiddle" , "part of a broken-down 27 [CARTHORSE]" , "Shakespearean role" , "String instrument of a range between the violin and cello" , "Flower -- stringed instrument" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
