The cello is a bowed string instrument.
A person who plays a cello is called a cellist. The cello is used as a solo instrument, in chamber music, and as a member of the string section
of an orchestra. It is the second physically largest member of the violin family of musical instruments, next to the double bass.
The name Cello is an abbreviation of the Italian violoncello, which means "little violone", referring to the violone, the lowest-pitched instrument of the viol family, the group of string instruments that were superseded by the violin family.
