For a right handed person:

  • The violin is held with the left hand on the neck with the base of it being positioned under your chin. You then hold the bow in your right hand.
  • The cello sits on the ground with the base being positioned between your legs. Your left hand is on the neck for fingering the notes and your right hand holds the bow.

What is the difference between a cello and a violin?

The Violin is the smallest instrument in the string family, it also has the highest pitch. The violin and cello are similar, both have four strings tuned in perfect 5th intervels. The violin's lowest note is the first G below middle C and the cello's lowest note is 2 octaves below middle C. Both instruments can be played with a bow or plucked by the strings. Different bows and strings are used to play the instruments. For example the cello bow is much thicker than the violin bow. Cello has a range comparable to a tenor, and violin has a range comparable to a soprano and is the closest instrument to the human voice.
