Viola

The viola is a real-world instrument that is often a focal object in Adventure Time.

Facts
The viola is a member of the violin family. It is the middle voice of the group, having a lower pitch than the violin, but higher than the cello. It is often mistaken for a violin, due to both instrument's pitch and similarity in size.

Appearances
It is often mentioned that Jake plays the viola. In the Pilot, Jake and Lady Rainicorn are talking, saying how they both like to play the viola, In "Evicted!", Jake took his viola and bow while house-hunting, after Marceline took the Tree Fort from him and Finn. Seeing that it was the only thing he carried, it must have meant importance to him. In "My Two Favorite People", he was seen playing the viola with Tiffany to make Finn and Lady Rainicorn jealous of him. In "The Eyes", Jake tries to lure way the Horse by playing several classical songs on his viola. However, none the songs work in luring the Horse away, but one song did attract several snakes. On the back of Jake's viola it says toots. This is seen in the episode Gut Grinder when Finns backpack gets cut open and Jake's Viola falls out. Lady Rainicorn also plays the viola. In "My Two Favorite People", it is confirmed that Jake meets Lady everyday at 4 o'clock on the dot so they can play the viola together.

In "What Was Missing", he breaks his viola himself, as seen in the 30-second trailer.
