violoncello
The third lowest member of the violin family, after the violin and the viola. The violoncello (often shortened to just cello) is actually the lowest member of those descended from the viola da braccio with a range of C2 below the bass clef to G5 at the top of the treble clef staff. It is as expressive and versatile as the violin, but with a richer, deeper, darker tone.
