Cello

Cello is a musical instrument belonging to the string family, characterized by its size, deep tone, and rich sound. Played with a bow or by plucking the strings, it requires the musician to press their fingers on the fingerboard to change pitch. The cello produces warm, resonant tones and is commonly used in orchestras, chamber music, and solos. Its design consists of a wooden body with four strings and a tailpiece, with the player seated and holding the instrument between their knees. The cello's versatile sound quality makes it integral to many musical genres worldwide.
