The 'Cello (short for "Violoncello"), provides the foundation for much classical music, as well as it's use in folk music, modern jazz and rock, and many sorts of ethnic music, including the very popular celtic music.
'Cellos play an "octave and a fifth" below the violins, and just an octave below the violas. While larger instruments are often more expensive than similar smaller ones, like violins, there are sometimes great bargains to be had on 'Cellos which are great "users."
Due to space limitations we don't usually keep lots of 'Cellos on hand, things do come and go. Stop in, call or email me to see what we have and what we expect to be available.
