No, it's not obsolete. Both "Bratsche" (plural "Bratschen") and "Viola" (plural Violen") are used in German. In spoken German I'm more used to hearing "Bratsche"; in printed scores I see both terms but I don't know which one is more common. Suit yourself!

Is the term "Bratschen" for violas obsolete in German? Would it be better to use "Violen"?
