One way to alter a cellos sound is by puttting a mute on. Another way is to do the con legno. You could a lso tremelo or vibrato. If you want the strings to play a different note you could put your fingers down or you could change the tuning of the strings.

The sound of a cello, or any stringed instrument, for that matter, is caused by, in this case, the bow being drawn across the string or strings of the instrument. This causes the string to vibrate, causing air pressure variations which are interpreted by your ears and brain as sound.

The sound is from the vibrating strings amplified by the vibrating wood parts.

The strings can be bowed or plucked to make them vibrate.

The sound of the 'cello emanates from the "f" holes and from the front and rear wood portions, which are connected via a sound post, located inside the 'cello.
