the cello

The parts of the cello
The cello is an heavy instrument but I feel it is the best instrument and when i'm done with this blog so will you! How? you say because the cello has the sweetiest,loveliest sound out of all the  string instruments in my oppinion.Their are four strings C,D,G,A and they are the main strings on the cello,then there are four fingers on each string but i don't feel like naming all of them right now.Last is the parts of the cello,we have the scroll,pegs,bridge,f-holes,tailpiece,spike,neck and fingerboard,the strings,and the bow.
The music of the cello
When you play the cello if you press down on the strings more it makes a deeper sound,if you don't it makes a looser sound.Try your best to play the correct music,if you don't thats ok,it takes time to read the notes correctly,it took me 1 year to read the notes correctly that doesn't mean it has to take you that long,it could take you 2 months if you work really hard.
The history of the cello
In 1660 the cello was made along with the bass.The cello is a bowed instrument and the bass is apart of the cello family.Also the cello is appart of the violin and viola family.The cello was used for many
years as an solo instrument.The cello was used for disco and pop music.
