The difficulty of playing the cello (violoncello) varies from moderately hard to extremely difficult. You must learn the exact places on the fingerboard on which to put your fingers for it to be totally in tune. You must hold the cello and bow right. It is difficult, but gets very easy when you have been playing for seven years as I have.
The 'Cello is in Concert Pitch (C) so A above middle C will equal 440 (same as the piano)
That depends on the player. Typically a cellist should be able to comfortably play a C one octave above middle C and higher. If you include harmonic notes the player should be able to play an E two octaves above middle C. However this does depend on the player. Check out Celloonline.com
To play "Seven Nation Army" on cello, start by tuning your cello to standard tuning (C-G-D-A). The main riff can be played on the A string, starting on the note C (3rd finger). Follow the sequence of notes: C, C, G, E, D, C, B, and repeat as needed. Use a steady bow stroke to capture the song's driving rhythm.

Music for 'cello is usually written in the bass, or F, cleff. However, as the violoncello has a very wide range, from very low to very high, music is sometimes written in the tenor cleff (a C cleff which shows where middle C is) or in treble cleff. Writting in these cleffs obviates the use of hard-to-read ledger lines above the staff.
Yes, the violin and cello are naturally concert pitch.
A cello has 4 strings. Cellos are tuned in fifths, starting with C2 (two octaves below middle C) as the lowest string, followed by G3, D4, and A4. It is tuned the same way as the viola, only an octave lower.
It depends on who you are. If you like the sound of a cello play a cello. If you like flutes play a flute. Both are wonderful instruments. ______________________ To be honest I think the Cello is better because it is easier to play even if the sound you make is not in tune.
