Rather it is simply to make beautiful music...which of course includes the ability to blend in --- pitch wise also --- with any/all accompanying instruments as best is possible. That's exactly what I mean, the ability to blend in pitchwise is wonderful. Now when you say the viol family, you probably mean the violin family. Viol family instruments have frets on the fingerboard. After you tune them the pitches are fixed like on a piano and the intervals are tempered. The violin family instruments do not.
