Question about an insturment?


what is the real name for the oversized cello. its smaller than a bass but bigger than a cello. i know ive seen them and heard the name but all i can think to call it is "a big cello thing". if you know what its called id love to know. thank you


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: They make basses in 1/2 and 3/4 sizes - that's all I know of between a cello and bass. well its called a Cello... lol i know what your talking about but cellos do come in different sizes. i think tera m is correct and just in case you don't know, the actual name for cello is violoncello I'm going with cello - I have taught strings for 11 years and never encounterd a "big cello thing."
