Answer
String instruments, including the cello, produce sound by vibrating strings stretched between fixed points. The pitch of the sound is determined by the tension and density of the string, as well as the length of the vibrating portion. String instruments are played by plucking, bowing, or strumming the strings, and can produce a wide range of tones and melodies. Other well-known string instruments include the violin, viola, and double bass.
