In the violin family, the next in pitch above the cello is the viola.

The cello is the bass of the violin family. The violin itself is the soprano, and the alto is the viola. There have been tenors made of this family from time to time, but they are not in any way standard instruments and are usually called by the name tenor violin.

List the violin viola cello and double bass in descending pitch range order?

The order in which they are listed in the question is their correct descending pitch range order. The violin is the smallest with the highest pitch; the viola is pitched a fifth below the violin; next is the cello, or violoncello, and lastly, the double bass is the largest and deepest of these four stringed instruments.


Is viola and clavichord are similar?

No, except they are both portable. the Viola is the tenor violin, geared down from the Soprano range of the traditional fiddle. The Clavichord is a keyboard instrument that is portable, and sounds something like a tinny steel guitar. a noble attempt was made to revive the Clavichord , and electrify it, also- in about l963 by one of the big German musical instrument houses. After all the Bass guitar came up to date, right. unfortunately the Clavichord in modern dress did not catch on, let along twangl. They were built and indeed imported.

What does a cello sound like?

The cello is the base of the violin family. Its sound is like a violin but low pitched. Its sound is very close to that of a human bass, singing without words. The next deeper instrument of the violin family is called a double bass, which is often played plucked for jazz, but has a very low pitched violin-like sound when bowed.

Besides the strings how can you tell the Violin apart from the Viola?

The cello is a much bigger instrument with a lower range of pitches. It looks the same as the violin (if you ignore the size) but the violin and viola both have a chin rest, and the cello does not. Instead, the cello has an end-pin at the bottom that you stick into the ground. Basically, they are the same except for the chin rest and the end-pin (and the size, of course).
