Asked by Wiki User

The bass violin was an ancestor of the modern cello. There is no such thing as a bass fiddle.

Actually the bass fiddle is just one of many names for the string bass, it's also called a bull fiddle.

Who made the modern cello?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, Andrea Amati is thought to have crafted the first example of a cello-shaped bass viol, and whether it was known as a violoncello or not is questionable. He made "The King" cello in the 16th century, and although it has been modified (made smaller in this case), the original cello is thought of to be the modern model of the baroque cello: wide. There were many viol-instruments during the quattrocento and the renaissance as a whole, but none approached the "modern-cello-look" of the Amati. Amati's sons and pupils went on to eventually teach Antonio Stradivari, the famed 18th century luthier.

How heavy is a cello?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A cello is not usually very heavy, light enough to carry with one arm, but don't do it because you may bump into something and smash the poor thing.

It is usually 8-30 pounds. It depends on the wood, how big it is and how hollow it is. But most are pretty light.

When you are in fourth position on A string, your second finger is on F. Fifth position is where you put your first finger (index finger) and put it on that F. A string is just my example. It works on all strings.

How expensive are average cello lessons?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It completely depends on how experienced the teacher is. If you get a fresh out of college person, or a student still in college, you can ask for a cheaper lesson than those of professionals. You usually rate your price per hour or half hour. If you have an hour lesson with a college student in a rural area, you or the teacher could come up with the price or agree upon it. The average price could be about $30-40 an hour. With more experienced cellists, it will be much more expensive.

What is the ancestor of the cello?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The origins of the cello can be traced back to the lira (or lyra) of the 9th century CE, a bowed instrument used in the Byzantine Empire. It spread through Europe in the 11th and 12th centuries and became the cello. The lira is also an ancestor of the violin.

What are the different parts of the cello called?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

working from the top down:

  • the scroll is the curly bit at the top
  • the pegs are black and do the rough tuning of the strings
  • the neck is the long thin part(its fairly obvious)
  • the fingerboard is the back part which you rest your thumb when plucking, it is raised off the main part of the cello
  • the bridge is made of unvarnished wood and holds the strings up, it usuall has a heart shape in it. It is only held in place by the strings so if it gets knocked will move, but this is nothing to worry about but it should be put back by someone who knows what they are doing
  • the soundpost is inside the cello and holds the cello up-if this moves you have a serious problem
  • the tailpiece is the black part were the ends of the strings are attached to and there are little machine heads which are used for finer tuning
  • the spike is made of metal and is used to adjust the height of the cello. the top of the main body should be resting onyour chest, highish, but nowhere near your neck

What is the best cello brand to get?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on what level you're at with the instrument,what size you need,and what kind of sound you're looking for.

Your going to have to do better than that. I know it depends, if that's all your going to say why did you waste your time and my time. Someone that cares help me out here. I know you can get a really good cello for $20000, but if you are budget minded, and don't want a soundless piece of plywood, you should check out Abz Fornitori Musicali. I got a cello from them back in May that sounds amazing!!!! I also only paid around $750!! They are in Wisconsin. Very highly recommended!

How do you know your clothes size?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sizes are based off either age or weight. For instance, the tag should read 3-6 mos/12-18 lbs. Best thing to do is to go by the weight as some children do weigh the same at the same age as another child.
