Cellos, medium to large bow stringed Musical Instruments first became popular in the 17th century although variations can be dated as far back as the 9th century. Antonio Stradivari, a violin maker is thought to be the founder of the now familiar upright shape of the "modern" cello. Traditionally, a cello body is made from Spruce with a Maple base although modern versions are now often made from carbon fibers which are more humidity resistant and cheaper to produce.
