The cello is a stringed instrument that looks similar to a violin, but immense. Not as obese as a bass, but big. It has no shoulder rest, but an end pin which supports the cello. The end-pin sticks in the ground and adjustable while the cello rests on your thighs and shoulder unlike the violin when it rests on your shoulders and hand. It has thicker strings and because of its size and strings, it has a lower, deeper sound. It usually does not have the melody unless it speaks out its beautiful solo. If you listen to a classical CD or radio station, if you listen closely you hear it. Not the lowest and calmest, but the exciting deep wave like the ocean. Its bow has a different lengths too. I suggest going to You-Tube, My Space, a book store, etc. and listen to one of the greatest cello legends, Yo Yo Ma (you'll see). Just because it's classical and that doesn't mean it sucks. There are electric cellos that also can adjust to the rock atmosphere. You don't believe me, check www. mark wood.com (not my website, I'm just a 12, Korean American 6th grade boy in Arizona)! Or type in cobra cello or viper cello. It's awesome! Honestly, I am a cello player myself, I am went to 2 state honors orchestra (last year I got 2 chair and on Feb. of 2009 I got 4 chair. Did pretty good for a sixth grader. The three chairs in front were 8. And sixth is the lowest grade possible in the middle school concert unlike last year in the elementary. TAKE THAT KAVAN! Yeah that's right!) and will be going to an All State concert soon. Last year, I went to one of those honors orchestra things, and there I met Mark Wood. I got second chair and had a heck of a time. Cello isn't always Beethoven Mozart, Bach....it's playing the music you desire with the most finest beautiful voice of all instruments (just my opinion). When I am bored, I play it. It's the only thing that makes me happy. Yes, Yes, you may think Call of Duty 5 is better. Sometimes I think that too. But when I am frustrated of it or bored cause I'm all alone. I just play it. I t makes me calm and relaxed. Excellent! So I suggest giving it a try. CELLO doesn't suck, IT DOMINATES! Sorry if I went a little too far, but after all, I'm 12 and play the cello AND next week, I perform at the honors orchestra.
the vibrations from drawing the bow along the strings get turned into sounds inside the cello and come out the"f" shaped holes
The F holes in a cello are called... <drum roll!> F-holes! They are also called 'sound holes', and acousticians might refer to them as 'ports'.
Acoustic guitars do not need to be hourglass shaped, however there are many reasons that they are. Here are two reasons, in no particular order: The hourglass shape is aesthetically appealing to the eye, and it allows for the guitar to rest comfortably on the leg when sitting.
An acoustic 'cello amplifies it's sound inside it's hollow body, an electric 'cello (whilst usually being shaped slightly differently) amplifies it's self ... using an amplifier. you can also use an electric 'cello with headphones so you can practice with out others hearing. plus, i don't think electric 'cellos are accepted in most orchestras, just as coloured instruments aren't.
Sounds like a bass to me, not a cello? I could be wrong...

An hourglass is shaped like a hyperbola because it consists of two conic sections that open away from each other, resembling the two branches of a hyperbola. The narrowest part of the hourglass corresponds to the center of the hyperbola, where the two curves diverge. This geometric relationship highlights how the hourglass design can be mathematically represented using hyperbolic equations, illustrating the connection between physical shapes and mathematical concepts.
coffin shaped with a cross
No, it's pear shaped.
Hourglass drums are a class of membranophone, or drum, characterized by an hourglass shape. They are also known as waisted drums. Drumheads are attached by laces, which may be squeezed during a performance to alter the pitch. The category also includes pellet drums such as the damaru, although not all pellet drums are hourglass shaped (such as the Korean do, nodo,noedo, and yeongdo, which are barrel shaped).

it looks like an hourglass with like pole things on the side.
I don't think its possible, if you have big boobs, a tiny waist, and largeish legs you are hourglass shaped. Empire lines suit hourglass shapes, so it might help, and v-necks, and scoop necks.
A cello produces sound by vibrating its strings when they are played with a bow or plucked. The vibrations are amplified by the cello's hollow body, creating music that is then shaped by the player's technique and expression.
Unfortunately, not everyone is capable of having an hourglass figure. Much of the way the body is shaped is determined by bone structure and other genetic factors.
The ''Sand Clock'' is really called an Hourglass, and the reason for that is because it takes the sand and hour to reach the other end of the glass. An hourglass is a curved shaped object that has two ends. The hourglass Has sand inside it which Is placed at the bottom of the hourglass, but when you turn the hourglass up side down, the sand slowly runs through a hole to the other end of the glass. When the sand has finally finished flowing it will end up looking like how it was in the first place.
