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. A Violin is more portable, however a cello can also be transported. Depending on the size and quality a violin and a cello can cost about the same, but usually a cello and its accessories are a bit more. For example, a really nice cello would cost more than a violin of the same quality because it costs more to make.
