What is the strings made out of on the cello?
There are different types of strings made out on the cello :Synthetic CoreMetal StringsGut core stringsSynthetic Core - These strings use a core made out of a durable synthetic product such as perlon or kevlar, and are wrapped with metals such as aluminum or silver. Synthetic-core strings are designed to replicate the rich sound of gut strings, and feature a warm, bright tone without requiring the frequent tuning of gut-core strings.Metal Strings -All-metal strings are often described as having a bright, loud sound. These strings generally have a steel core, which is often the most popular core material used in cello strings. For this reason, some popular brands such as Evah Pirazzi, which use a synthetic core for their violin and viola strings, switch to a steel core for their cello strings. Steel-core strings are wound with various metals such as silver, titanium or steel.Gut core strings-Some professional cellists prefer gut-core strings because of the rich, warm sound they produce on their instrument. These strings are not as durable as metal or synthetic-core strings, and are more sensitive to humidity and temperature changes .... but it was mostly used in the olden times eg.Baroque period. :)

What is the strings on a musical instrument called?
"E" string, and "A", and "D", "G" string. History of the strings: Prior to the mid-20th century, double bass strings were usually made of gut, but since that time, steel strings have largely replaced gut strings, because steel strings hold their pitch better and yield more volume when played with the bow.[6] Gut strings are also more vulnerable to changes of humidity and temperature, and they break much more easily than steel strings. Gut strings are nowadays mostly used by bassists who perform in baroque ensembles, rockabilly bands, traditional blues bands, and bluegrass bands [7] Gut strings create the dark, "thumpy" sound heard on 1940s and 1950s recordings. The late Jeff Sarli, a blues upright bassist, stated that "starting in the 1950s, they began to reset the necks on basses for steel strings", and double bass players switched from gut strings to steel strings.[8] Rockabilly and bluegrass bassists also prefer gut because it is much easier to perform the "slapping" upright bass style (in which the strings are percussively slapped and clicked against the fingerboard) with gut strings than with steel strings. (For more information on slapping, see the sections below on Modern playing styles, Double bass in bluegrass music, Double bass in jazz, and Double bass in popular music). The change from gut to steel has also affected the instrument's playing technique over the last hundred years, because playing with steel strings allows the strings to be set up closer to the fingerboard, and, additionally, steel strings can be played in higher positions on the lower strings and still produce clear tone. The classic 19th century Franz Simandl method does not utilize the low E string in higher positions because with older gut strings set up high over the fingerboard, the tone was not clear in these higher positions. However, with modern steel strings, bassists can play with clear tone in higher positions on the low E and A strings, particularly when modern lighter-gauge, lower-tension steel strings (e.g., Corelli/Savarez strings) are used.

Animal intestines, twisted tightly and dried. That's why they are still called "gut" stings sometimes. Strings of brass and bronze broke easily, and so gut was the best choice until steel wire strings became popular in the later half of the 17th century. Nylon is a fairly recent invention.
