Cello Sheet Music & Instruments
Many people think that the cello, correctly called the violoncello, descended from the viols, but this simply isn't true. It actually originated in the 16th century as a member of the violin family. While the construction of the various violins used features of other instruments available at that time, such as viols and rebecs, violins are a separate family of instruments. The cello has changed in size over the past several centuries, but otherwise it is basically the same. Stradivari was the violin maker who standardized the size of the modern cello. Until the time of his creations, celli often reached 80 cm in length, which made it very clumsy to play. In 1707 he shortened the size to 75 cm. To Buy A Cello Click HereOther Good Cello Links
