What is a "violoncello"?

A violoncello, commonly known as the cello, is a stringed instrument with a deep, resonant sound and a large, hollow wooden body. It has four strings, which are tuned in perfect fifths, and is played by drawing a bow across the strings or by plucking them. The violoncello is held between the player’s knees while sitting, and its long neck allows the player to reach different pitches by pressing the strings against the fingerboard. It is used in a wide range of musical genres, including classical, jazz, and contemporary music, and is known for its rich, expressive tones and wide range of dynamics.
