What is violonchelos?

Violoncellos, also known as cellos, are string instruments that were first developed in Italy during the 16th century. They are usually played in classical music ensembles such as an orchestra or a chamber music ensemble, but can also be used in jazz and other contemporary genres. The cello has a deep, rich sound that is achieved by drawing a bow across four strings tuned to C, G, D, and A. Cellists can also pluck the strings with their fingers, creating a pizzicato sound. The instrument is played while standing or sitting, with the musician resting the cello between their knees, while it is supported by a spike on the base. The cello is an important part of the string section of an orchestra, and is often featured in solos and other musical works.
