Cello

Cellos can produce a beautifully rich, mellow tone.

The cello is the second-largest member of the string family and is around 120cm in length. It’s played sitting down, held between the player’s knees and standing on a metal peg which rests on the floor. Like other string instruments, the left hand presses down on the strings to alter the pitch, while the right hand moves the bow or plucks the strings.
