Difference between bass and cello shape

This does not need a picture, the difference is very simple!

First of all, the volume of appearance, the cello is sitting down to play, not counting the foot of the instrument is about 1 meter 2 high bass is standing to pull the volume of 1 meter 7-1 meter 8 than the cello to be bigger than 1 times will be! It is the largest wooden instrument among stringed instruments!

Playing method, cello and bass just similar appearance (in fact, the appearance of stringed instruments are the same, just the size of the head) but in fact, from the string tuning to the playing of the bow are different, the cello is the C G D A tuning while the bass is the E A D G tuning, so the size of the handle and the change of fingers are different, and in addition, the bass needs more power, so the bow is shorter and thicker than that of the cello Grip There are two types of bows: the large bow and the small bow The large bow is like our 2-humbs, but with a much wider grip and a wider bow! The small bow grip is similar to the cello!

The cello can usually be changed to a bass, but it's a bit difficult to change a bass to a cello!
