Instrument Study!

Hiya Bloggers! Today I will be talking about the Cello.
The Cello is in the strings family. The Cello is the base member of the Violin family. This instrument plays more of a low pitch sound which is more deep.
Those are the parts of the Cello. The Cello is played in between the knees, where you would then place your fingers on the finger board and take your bow and play it against the strings. It should then create a deep rich sound with whatever fingering your using. The Cello plays in manly the bass clef. The Cello was created in the 16th century in Italy by Antonio Stradivari. 
When Maintaining the Cello you keep it safe in a case so that it is not broken or stepped on and should be held carefully. Maybe once a week you should dust off your Cello with a cotton clothe. With the bow, It's very fragile and should be also handled with care and not left somewhere for someone to step on it. You can tighten the hairs on the bow if there getting loose but should be loosen at the end of playing. If your done playing with your Cello lay it safely in it's case along with the bow.
Hope you enjoyed this post :D
