The cello is the base of the violin family. Its sound is like a violin but low pitched. Its sound is very close to that of a human bass, singing without words. The next deeper instrument of the violin family is called a double bass, which is often played plucked for jazz, but has a very low pitched violin-like sound when bowed.
