Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
First of all, its spelled cello!. Or, more correctly, 'cello, which is short for violincello!. Just had to correct that earlier person!. (I'm a cellist, what can I say!?)

You probably can't start this beautiful instrument because you do need left arm strength as the other person mentioned!. However, piano is a gorgeous place to start!. Yes, many people play it!. But they play it for a reason!. It's versatile, it has a huge repertoire, and if you ever choose to start another instrument, the knowledge you'll gain from the piano is immeasurable!.

Other options include: oboe, bassoon, French Horn, saxophone, guitar, voice (always to be considered!. The human voice is an amazing instrument), electric bass, any type of recorder!.

Good luck!.

TRY A GUITAR OR A PIANO OR A FLUTE AND SOMETHINGWww@QuestionHome@Com

play or learn piano!. At least, your arms are by your side and don't need ant effort to hold since they are resting at 90 deg!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

clarinet would be the best in my opinion!.!.!.
don't play the cello!
i personally play it and i like it a lott
but you need to do the fingerings and hold down the strings with your left arm
which means that you'll have to hold your left arm high up for a long period of time

go for clarinet:)
i played it and your arms really don't hurt
because you just keep both of your arms down when playing!.!.

good luck!:)Www@QuestionHome@Com

piano would probably be the best because you don't have to hold anything up at all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
