Structural characteristics of cello
The cello is structurally very similar to the violin. This instrument consists of four main parts, handle, strings, resonating bowl, and bow. The handle is the upper part of the resonating bowl where the tunings are located and the fingers are placed on it when playing. This instrument, like a violin, has four strings that are tuned to A (first string), D (second string), C (third string), and D (fourth string) respectively. Similar to the violin, the bow is made of horse hair and is stretched over the strings. The resonating bowl is also pear-shaped. The main difference between violin and cello is their size and how to play them. The cello has a metal stand that is placed on the floor and the body of the instrument is placed between the player's legs. This instrument is used in different groups of music styles including pop, jazz, rock, classical, and even folk music. Among the most famous cello players are Mstislav Rostropovich Rossi, Pierre Fournier, Luigi Boccherini, Adrien-Francois Serve, etc.
Music in Cologne
Cologne, once home to the Popkomm pop show and the German rock center from BAP to Klaus Lage is now less active in the music industry. Many independent artists, such as Peter Leach, Kelly, or Erdobble, appreciate this far-fetched position for its freedom. The father of pop music in Cologne are members of the international rock band Can. The genre of rock in music, which originated in the early 1970s, is now world-renowned. In addition, the city is very popular due to various music carnivals.
