The '''cello''' (short for its formal name, ''violoncello''<ref>'''Not''' "viol'''i'''ncello;" the fifth letter is an o, not an i</ref>) is a low-pitched [[String Instruments|string instrument]] of the violin family. It often shares the melody, and sometimes harmonizes with, the [[Violin]] in a western [[orchestra]]. Its pitch range is similar to that of the human voice, giving it a warm and emotional quality.
