They are all part of the violin family, the full name of a cello is the violoncello.
Instrument names in the violin family are all derived from the root viola, which is a derivative of the Medieval Latin word vitula (meaning “stringed instrument”). A violin is a “little viola”, a violone is a “big viola” or a bass violin, and a violoncello (often abbreviated cello) is a “small violone” (or literally, a “small big viola”)
The names were derived the same way as your title basically lol
Answered like a true scholar!violoncello sounds like some kind of sausage product
“Does anybody ever remember me?” says Viola in frustration.
I don’t know, but aren’t guitars just short-scale 6-string piccolo basses?
They are a big viola and a small viola respectively.
I think its just a very large fiddle.
Yes.
