What tree resin is responsible for the distinctive Stradivarius violin color?
Ginezumi
Most of the original varnish on Stradivari instruments, except for a couple in museums, is gone. What's left is a ground color and sealer that has no known exact makeup and has been speculated by many to be the most important part of the process.
This ground layer is made up of minerals such as Silica, Alumina and Lime. The resins that are used are seen to be those from Larch and Fir and the color that was added to the resins were from pigments such as red iron oxide and a lake pigment derived from the cochineal insect.

What is the tone color for the cello?
a rich warm lower register and bright brilliant higher registerA cello can be any color. Most cellos are wooden, and as such can be finished to display any color, from black to white and everything in between. Electric cellos have even more potential for vibrant colors as the body of them does not do anything other than keep the strings in place. But some of the more beautiful cellos you could find are a natural wood color with a very prevalent grain.
In which way is the sound of the violen different from the sound of the viola?
Good question--it's hard to tell!! For one, they have different strings. A viola goes down to a C3 with it's highest open string being an A4. A violin's lowest string is a G3 with the highest open string being E5. The vast majority of the time, the higher part will be a violin, especially at what I call the "squeaky parts". Tone wise, a viola has a much deeper, darker and slightly fuzzier sound, while a violin has a brighter, more focused sound. This is a result of the violin having a smaller 'body' than the viola. As a brass player, I can't say anything about whether they're made of different materials or if there's any other differences that alter their tones. It's essentially like learning to tell the difference between trombones and french horns: it sounds obvious sometimes, but not always. After hearing them a lot, you learn to notice the super subtle differences between the two. You might still make mistakes, and that's okay, especially when a trombone is trying to sound mellow or a horn is trying to sound bright. This skill develops over time as you listen to orchestral music, or--depending on your skill set--play with one (as I have). Hope this helps!!
