The difficulty of playing the cello (violoncello) varies from moderately hard to extremely difficult. You must learn the exact places on the fingerboard on which to put your fingers for it to be totally in tune. You must hold the cello and bow right. It is difficult, but gets very easy when you have been playing for seven years as I have.

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'.

It's best to let a professional evaluate whether or not a person is ready for a full size (4/4) cello. If there is a music shop near you that sells or rents stringed instruments, stop in to have them measure you, even if you do not plan to buy the instrument from them. Playing on the wrong size cello can cause muscle and nerve damage. The most important things when determining the size of cello that is right for a person are: hand size, height, and posture. Generally, a person over 5'2" can play on a 4/4 cello, provided they do not have small hands or slouch a lot while playing.

Strings ... along with the bass, or contrabass.

Anything you make it play. Most people will tell you classical but there's this band called apocalypitca who use cellos and violin/violas and they have some pretty heavy songs.

The cello, like any other instrument is capable, within the hands of a skilled player, of playing any genre of music.

It is a good expression. The Violoncello is not playing nor performing without one, like an instrumentalist, performer, and/or Violoncellist performing the Violoncello to help to cause Violoncello music. One may mostly identify music appearing to emanate from and/or with a Violoncello to be classical music. There are example of non-classical music. Classical may be the music of Ludwig Van Beethoven and the appearances of cohorts.

Interestingly to a number of people the number one selling song includes Violoncello designation. The song is more a Rock 'N' Roll ballad.

When you look at the stage, the violins will occupy the left portion of the orchestra. The violas are situated in the middle of the orchestra while the cello is in the right part of the orchestra. The basses are situated behind the celloes and can stretch to where the violas are, if there is a good many basses in the orchestra.

it is called the endpin

Pablo Casals

His new carbon fiber cello from Luis and Clark retails for a little over $7,000. His other cello is a 1733 Montagnana which is worth over two million dollars.

The cello is tuned to the notes C G D and A (this can be remembered using "Cats Go Down Alleys")

Different pitches are then created by adding fingers in different positions on the strings. Hence, adding the first finger to the D string will make the note Eb or E, the 2nd would be F, the 3rd would be F# and the 4th would be G or G#.

Movements 1 and 2 of the third, fourth, and i think fifth Bach Suites are level 6.Pezzo Capricioso by Tchaikovsky is also a level 6.

You have to look up or ask your instructor about the fingering for the note. Sit up straight, blow through the instrument and support your air just like you would while playing any other note.

The only way to fix a string that broke at the peg is to replace it carefully with a new string. Your teacher or orchestra director can do this for you, or you can take your instrument to a reputable shop.

In almost all cases, a broken string cannot be repaired, it has to be replaced with a new string.

Andrea Amati was a stringed instrument maker in the 16th century (1530's). He was an Italian man who had two sons. He is considered by most historians to be the designer of what we call the violin family of instruments. He made a group of instructional for King Charles IX with decorations such as paintings, carvings, and mottoes for the king.

It must always be played with the bow, however, it can if the music calls for it.

The only strings instruments that are larger in size than the cello are the double bass and the harp.

Sizing for a 3/4 size 'cello is around

Body Size 27 inches

Overall Height 45 inches

Max Width 16 inches

The Cello is short for the Violoncello. The Cello evolved from the viola da gamba or Viol.

I hope that answered your question and the double base is not the violonbase, it is just a double base.

The first cello was made in Italy, in the city of Cremona.

I haven't measured the decibels, but a fine violinist with a good instrument which projects well can play extremely softly (even without a mute) and pretty penetratingly on the upper strings. The violinist cannot compete with brass or percussion fortes and should not try to play loud because forcing the sound will actually deaden it and create a bad tone. Getting the maximum volume is based on good, relaxed, unforced arm weight and a feel for the contact between the bow and the string and goes hand in hand with developing a mature tone.

the cello is used for making music with a deeper pitch but not as deep as bass
