Play the cello
The word cello is actually an abbreviation of ‘violoncello’ and a person who plays one is called a cellist. The cello is an amazing instrument, capable of performing multiple musical roles with a rich, sonorous tone that balances out the high pitch of other instruments. Many modern bands have used the cello in their music, such as Aerosmith, Nirvana and Coldplay and it is also a popular instrument in folk groups.
