cello
"The cello is the most perfect instrument." Zuill Bailey
The word derives from the Italian violoncello. It is the second largest string instrument in the orchestra. The cellos are an important part of orchestral music. Much of the time, cellos provide part of the harmony for the orchestra. On many occasions, the cello section will play the melody for a brief period of time, before returning to the harmony.
