Cello

Cello is a string instrument in the bowed string family. It is second in size only to the double bass. The cello is used as a solo instrument, in chamber music, and as a member of the string section of an orchestra. The cello is tuned in fifths, with the lowest string, C, being the lowest-pitched note on the instrument. The modern cello has four strings tuned in perfect fifths: from low to high, these are C2, G2, D3, and A3.

The cello is held between the legs, with the left hand holding the bow and the right hand playing the strings. The player sits with the instrument angled away from the body, with the bow arm extended and the left hand in the air. The left leg is extended and the right leg is bent, with the right foot resting on the floor.

The cello is a very expressive instrument, and its range allows for a wide range of emotions to be conveyed. The cello has a rich, mellow sound that is both warm and deep. It is a versatile instrument that is able to performs a wide range of genres, from classical to pop.
