The violoncello or cello is the tenor voice in the string family. While shaped like a violin, the cello is much larger and is held between the player’s knees. Because it can produce beautiful sounds from its lowest to its highest notes, it is a popular instrument.
The cello is by necessity a seated instrument, and the end pin gives it its unique look. Cellists held their instruments between the legs until the late 19th century, when increased technical demands and those of tone production made the end pin a necessity.
