I have never played the violin, but I think it sounds beautiful.
It is the smallest and highest pitched regular use stringed instrument. I used to play the viola.
Really? I love the viola and its bass sound. Can you tell me more about it?
It is a deeper sound than the violin but higher than the cello or bass. There are pegs on it that you can adjust to change the pitch of each string.
Yes I hear that. I had a friend that played the cello. What do you know about the cello?
Cello
The cello ( ; plural celli or cellos) or violoncello ( ; ) is a bowed (and occasionally plucked) string instrument of the violin family. Its four strings are usually tuned in perfect fifths: from low to high, C, G, D and A, an octave lower than the viola. Music for the cello is generally written in the bass clef, with tenor clef and treble clef used for higher-range passages.
Played by a "cellist" or "violoncellist", it enjoys
Viola d'amore
The viola d'amore (; Italian for "love viol") is a 7- or 6-stringed musical instrument with sympathetic strings used chiefly in the baroque period. It is played under the chin in the same manner as the violin.
Structure and sound.
The viola d'amore shares many features of the viol family. It looks like a thinner treble viol without frets and sometimes with sympathetic strings added. The six-string viola d'amore and the treble viol also have approximately the same ambitus or range of playable notes.
