The pine soundboard and arched structure ensure the resonance of the performance and spread the sound.

The silver wire shaped tuning key on the long bar allows the strings to be adjusted to achieve the correct pitch and tone. In general, cellos use four strings: A, D, G, and C, with a Perini rod for added comfort and precision. The upper part of the piano is equipped with a tail hook and tuning keys, which can be adjusted to control the pitch and legs.

The cello is played in a very unique way, requiring the use of left-handed handlebars and right-hand strings, and different bows to create a variety of sounds, which also gives the cello its distinctive, rich timbre characteristics.

In the field of classical music, the cello is often regarded as one of the core instruments of symphony and chamber music. Due to its low and grand tone, the cello also often plays a grand and moving role in film scores. In different genres, such as jazz, rock or pop**, the cello evolves into a more innovative way of playing.

Known for its warm and rich timbre, the cello is one of the most common instruments in symphony orchestras. The cello is a lower middle ** instrument in the violin family, with a rich and full timbre, a cheerful character, good at playing lyrical melodies, expressing deep and complex feelings, and also sharing the bass part of harmony with the double bass, known as the ** lady.

The cello, like the violin or other members of the string family, has four strings, a range of about four octaves, and a pitch lower than the viola (c g d a), and the score is usually on a bass clef, sometimes in the upper registers, sometimes in the alto and sometimes in the treble clef.

The first A string of the cello is gorgeous and powerful, full of singing, and the second D string has a hazy tone.

The three- and four-string strings (G, C) are deep and loud and can withstand the very heavy sound of the band. Although it is articulation in the same way as the middle and violin, the finger position in the low register is very different from that of the violin, especially in the high register, where it can be played with the thumb.

As for the playing technique, the cello is different from the violin in terms of body size, string arrangement, and string length, so it is played differently from the middle and violin, and is played between the legs. To play, the player gently clamps the body between their knees and supports the bottom with a height-adjustable metal rod. It is played by pulling the strings with a bow hair, plucking the strings with fingers and striking the strings with a bow rod.

Why is there a cello, a Western instrument, in a folk music band?

First of all, China's folk music is not suitable for ensembles in the form of large groups, because they did not have a complete system when they were invented, and the overlapping of vocal ranges is very serious, and the folk orchestras so far are only "playing in unison" rather than in ensembles. There is no low ** apparatus in the folk tramp instrument, so in order to adapt to the orchestra performance, the double bass can only be used to compensate for it. But now we have a low ** device modeled after a double bass, which looks a lot like a bigger Ruan.

Nowadays, there are basically no double basses in the official folk music performances of the clan shacks.
