What is a cello?

Cello is a large stringed instrument that concerns viola, violin, double bass and bass caterpillars. The name cello is a shortening of cello and sometimes written with an apostrophe as ‘cello. Cello is usually played with a bow, like a violin, although it can also be torn.

The oldest origin of cello dates back to the mid -16th century, when a three -member bass violin was created. For the next hundred years, several pieces were composed for this instrument, which was usually supposed to play in accordance with the violin. In the mid -17th century, with the advent of metallic packed strings, a tool was created much more like a modern cello. The cello enjoyed limited success until the Baroque era, when the design was refined, and a large number of exceptional pieces were composed for the instrument.

Cello are most often made of wood and have the same general shape as the violin. The body is larger near the bottom than the upper part, with the innera curved indentation towards the center and protruding neck at the top. Four chains are used and can be made of synthetics, metal or intestines. Traditional cello bows are made of Brazilian wood with high quality bows made of tree core. Horsehair is used as a rubbing of the bow surface and is covered with resin to better resonate the strings. Synthetic material can also be used for meadows, although it is less traditional and is not widely visible.

Violoncelsa can be found in a number of sizes, slightly larger than full size 4/4 to relatively small 1/16. Although the smallest of these cello is designed primarily for children, some people from smaller defects decide to play 7/8 cello to allow their hands to find positions with greater ease. In some cases, cello greater than 4/4 could play with sufficiently large hands to achieve.

Theviololoncello is tuned to a low register, with four chains tuned to A, D, G and C. This is from the highest rOzhčíční to the lowest, while traditional tuning is on A3, D3, G2 and C2 at the perfect fifth intervals. Alternative tuning is not unusual in cello, with C2, G2, D3 and G3, as in one of Bach's apartments.

Cello is played primarily in classical, baroque and romantic music and is an integral part of the chamber orchestra. It can also be considered as part of the chain quartet and provides a low end of the bass. A large number of music has been written for cello over the years and it is a widely popular instrument. Probably the most famous of these classic cello is Bach's six apartment. In recent years, cello has begun to introduce itself in contemporary music, especially R&B and pop. Cello also began to be used in genres where violins such as Celtic or American Music could traditionally have been used.
