Cello: The Family of The Violin’s Instrument
If you look at the cello, then the first impression you have is that it is a huge guitar. However, it does not belong to the family of guitars, but rather that of the violins. This is a huge hollow wooden instrument that is played with the bow in the right hand, while the end pin is placed on the floor. The handle is balanced by the left hand, which also manipulates the strings. The first cellos had five strings and as such were not as versatile as the present versions, which have only four; A, D, G and C. The C is the lowest note and the A is the highest. Because the instrument is played with four strings, it can be assimilated into both classical and modern types of music with equal ease. Looking back at its three-stringed ancestors, the present version has managed to keep its free voice, while retaining the elegance of a classical instrument.

The 1/16 Violin For Very Young Children
The introduction of the Suzuki program revolutionized the way in which music is taught, making it easy for children to learn to play at a much earlier age. As a result, smaller solo violins became necessary, and were made in 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and even 1/32 sizes. The purpose for the smaller instruments was to provide a size better proportioned for a child, allowing them to learn more easily. One size that is especially popular for very young children is the 1/16 violin.
