For a right handed person:

  • The violin is held with the left hand on the neck with the base of it being positioned under your chin. You then hold the bow in your right hand.
  • The cello sits on the ground with the base being positioned between your legs. Your left hand is on the neck for fingering the notes and your right hand holds the bow.
