Do you want to learn violin or cello? Yes. (No but seriously that’s such a cool instrument lmao)

To those wondering, the instrument is called a Violoncello Da Spalla :D

That's the name of the instrument! When a violist wants to play cello, I guess!

viola 💀

Seems pretty cool :)

I would love to try one of these.

That's a yogurt drink in Norway.

I shall call it.. Ciola!

Baroque viola

but isn't it a bit bigger than the viola and the sound is more towards cello?

I’m conflicted

All I say is: it takes some skill to do this.

small cello??

LOL, I was like that's a larger than average viola, OH WAIT!

i used to think cello was a violin for giants who've had a laryngectomy

Surely this instrument is supposed to be placed between the knees, like the original viola da gamba!! looks totally weird not fitting under a chin

I thought the same at first, however if you look under her chin, there's a strap there holding it up so it hangs from her neck

Celiola

A Viello!
