The earliest cellos were smaller and held between the knees. They didn't have endpins and there was no ebony on them, which made them lighter. Before the Baroque period people played the viola da gamba which is quite similar to a cello in range. The original cello had 5 strings due to lack of changing position.

If the piano hadn't been invented?

Music would have taken a very different course if the piano hadn't been invented, because some of the great musical composers (I think Beethoven, but that's just a hunch) played piano and only piano, therefore making it impossible for them to compose the same pieces that they had composed on the piano. Also, I would be extremely miserable.
