Yes, if there is too much lacquer used on a cello then it would produce a more dull sound. Less lacquer means a brighter sound. Some people argue that the type of lacquer can change the sound, but only in a very, very minute way.

How can you tell if something is cover with lacquer or varnish?

Shellac and lacquer are both fairly easy to identify because they will redissolve in their original solvents. If alcohol (solvent alcohol from the hardware store, not rubbing alcohol) dissolves it then it's shellac. If lacquer thinner softens it, then it's lacquer. (lacquer thinner will also dissolve shellac, but alcohol will not immediately soften lacquer, so do the alcohol check first.) If neither alcohol nor lacquer thinner immediately affect it, then it's probably varnish.* http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/wood/msg0822004022412.html


What are the roles of a cello?

A cello is one of the larger stringed instruments. Cellos are available in different sizes to accomidate different sizes/ages of players. A cello is deeper in tone than a viola but higher than a bass. Cellos are found in orchestras and small string ensembles. A person who plays the cello is called a cellist.

The cello sounds similar to the other members of the violin family: that is, the violin, viola, and double bass.
