The cello, or violoncello, is the bass instrument of the violin family, which was developed during the Renaissance. The cello took the place of an instrument called a viola da gamba, which was similar to the ear and eye of many people, and could be considered the equivalent. The bass of this family is simply called a bass viol.
The bass viol usually had six gut strings, frets covering a rather short section of the fingerboard, a body much deeper than that of a cello, and a flat back. It was a bit larger than a cello. Since it was played with frets, the sound was not quite as expressive as a cello's, and since the strings were used at much lower tension, it was not as loud. It was not a solo instrument, but at the time it was played, the demands of music were such that no one wanted solo instruments anyway. It had a lovely, warm sound, however, and when it was replaced by the cello, there were a lot of people who regretted the change.
It was a much easier instrument to learn to play than a cello, and was much easier play on two strings at the same time. I have long felt that if certain musicians knew of them, they would use them, and I feel this is especially true for bluegrass.
