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.
