The cello looks like the violin and viola but is much larger (around 4 feet long), and has thicker strings than either the violin or viola. Of all the string instruments, the cello sounds most like a human voice, and it can make a wide variety of tones, from warm low pitches to bright higher notes.

Rosin comes in a variety of formulas to suit different instruments, playing styles, and climates. Violin and viola players tend to use a harder rosin, cello players a medium rosin, and the softest, stickiest rosins are used by bass players for the extra adhesion and grip on thick strings.

Although the cello and double bass are the largest instruments in the string family, there is a substantial difference in their size. The double bass measures in at about 6 feet long and is the largest instrument in the string family, while the cello is slightly smaller in nature.

Violin and viola are played propped up between the shoulder and chin. Cello is played sitting down and in between the players knees, with the end pin stuck in the floor for balance. Bass can be played sitting or standing and it also uses an endpin for balance. Each one also holds their bow a different way.

Both instruments are hard to learn and take time and dedication to play them well. It is often quicker and more natural to learn to play the cello, as the playing position and hand position is more natural than with the violin.

The primary difference between a cello and a violin is size. The cello is normally played from a seated position with the instrument held between the legs. The violin, in contrast, is held between the shoulder and the chin. The cello produces lower notes on the scale than the violin.

Cello

While it is beautiful as a piano piece, it could never compare to the orchestral version (which is how it was written). So yes, you can play a piece for the cello on the violin. And sometimes it can even be just as- or even more- beautiful as it is on the instrument for which it was written.

The cello is a bowed string instrument with four strings tuned in perfect fifths. It is a member of the violin family of musical instruments, which also includes the violin and viola.

And even though it was always played between the legs, the instrument we now call the cello was first called the basso di viola da braccio, or “bass arm viola.” The word cello, believe it or not, comes from an Italian word meaning “little big viola.”
