The Cello

The cello is a larger string instrument, bigger than viola but smaller than the upright bass.   It has a lower, very mellow tone that is often described as relaxing.

It's played like a violin and viola except the player sits down and the cello rests on the floor. 

The cello is often used as an accompaniment instrument but some outstanding cellists play it beautifully as a solo instrument.

Cello is not difficult to play.

  Here's an example of cello music.
