The term "Chin Cello" affectionately denotes a moderately large (generally 16 inches in length or more) viola that is tuned an octave lower, which is consistent with the tuning of a cello. The traditional cello is played sitting down, but the "chin cello" is played under the chin, hence the name. The strings are able to be pitched lower by using a special thicker gauge of strings that are capable of producing lower notes.
