If you mean Bass Guitar then its because the bass guitar is electric and is made for low pitches

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.
In which way is the sound of the violen different from the sound of the viol?
The sound of the violin tends to be brighter and more piercing, while the viola has a warmer and deeper tone. The viola is slightly larger than the violin and is tuned a perfect fifth lower.
Is it true that A ship is able to float on water because it has a higher density than the water?
No, a ship floats on water because it displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, following Archimedes' principle. The shape and design of the ship also play a significant role in determining whether it will float. The ship's overall density doesn't need to be higher than water for it to float.
What are two things that have a higher viscosity than water?
1. Molasses 2. Honey Both have higher viscosity than water.
What temperature is twelve degrees higher than -6?
12 degrees higher than -6 is 6 degrees.
What has a lower pitch a violin or cello?
A cello can play in the range of a violin (much of it), if that's what you mean, but a violin's highest note is much higher than a cello's highest note.
Which instrument makes notes which have a higher pitch a violin or b double bass?
Orchestral string instruments in order of pitch (from highest to lowest) are as follows: Violin Viola Cello Double Bass So the Violin produces higher pitched notes than the Double Bass.
Why can a violin play a higher pitch than a bass?
The Viola has a lower pitch than the violinbecause of its lower-pitched string (the "C" string) compared to the violin's much higher-pitched string (the "E" string).
Is a violin more high piched than a viola?
Yes, the violin has a higher pitch than a viola. Even though the violin and viola are similar in size, the violin has an E string while the viola has a C string. (I should know as I used to play the violin but switched to stand up bass)
What other instruments does the cello sound like?
The cello sounds similar to the other members of the violin family: that is, the violin, viola, and double bass. It has a lower tone than the violin and viola and a higher tone than the double bass, but still sounds similar. It is especially similar to the double bass because they are both bass instruments.
Is a piano score readable by violin players?
For the treble clef, absolutely! Problem is, a piano can play notes far lower than the violin can. So the violin player doesn't or cannot read the bass clef.
Why does a violin sound higher than a double bass?
Pitch is determined by the size of the instrument and the length of the string. Because the body of the violin is smaller, the strings are also shorter, allowing it to produce pitches far higher than those of the double bass.
What is the difference between a violin and a cello apart from size?
A violin is a much higher pitched instrument than the Cello. Also, the violin is played while supporting it with your neck and shoulder while the Cello is played upright, similar to a bass.

Is the violin a seventh larger than the viola?
The viola is one-seventh in size of the violin, and the violin is one-fifth higher in pitch.
Why is the violin's bow bigger than the basses bow?
It isn't. A violin bow is longer than a bass bow, although the bass bow has is much wider with a thicker wooden shaft, and is thus two or three times heavier. Violin bows are longer because the higher in pitch a string is, the faster bow you need. Basses have very thick strings, so they don't need to move their bows very fast, and don't need as long a bow. Besides, if it were as long as a violin bow, it would be too heavy for most people to play!
