What are the different parts of the cello called?

Answer 1

working from the top down:

• the scroll is the curly bit at the top
• the pegs are black and do the rough tuning of the strings
• the neck is the long thin part(its fairly obvious)
• the fingerboard is the back part which you rest your thumb when plucking, it is raised off the main part of the cello
• the bridge is made of unvarnished wood and holds the strings up, it usuall has a heart shape in it. It is only held in place by the strings so if it gets knocked will move, but this is nothing to worry about but it should be put back by someone who knows what they are doing
• the soundpost is inside the cello and holds the cello up-if this moves you have a serious problem
• the tailpiece is the black part were the ends of the strings are attached to and there are little machine heads which are used for finer tuning
• the spike is made of metal and is used to adjust the height of the cello. the top of the main body should be resting onyour chest, highish, but nowhere near your neck

Answer 2

Here are the parts of the cello that are more commonly used (you could probably find even more on various websites online) I'll try to explain this from top to bottom:

First at the top, there is the scroll. This is the swirly-looking part mad of wood.

Then there are the tuning pegs that are used to tune the cello (for tuning strings that are really out of tune). They stick out of the peg box, where the ends of strings are.

After that comes the neck, which is the long piece of wood extending from the scroll to the body of the instrument (the body is the shaped box that amplifies the sound). The fingerboard is the black piece of wood where you put your fingers to the strings to change the pitch. (and the strings is a part of the instrument, I guess)

The strings lie on the bridge, which holds up the strings and should not be attached to the body of the instrument (meaning if the strings are loosened too much, it falls over).

Inside the instrument, there is a sound-post that allows the vibrations from the strings to travel the back of the instrument to create a bigger sound.

There are f-holes in the body of the instrument that allow the sound to come out.

At the bottom of the instrument, there is a tail piece that holds the strings. There are also fine tuners on the tail piece that you can use to tune the strings, a little at a time.

Finally, there is the end-pin. This is stuck into the ground (or into some kind of end-pin holder you might have) to hold it upright, between your legs so you can play.

Here is a list of the parts (in case you don't want to read all of that):

-scroll

-tuning pegs

-peg box

-neck

-body

-fingerboard

-strings

-bridge

-sound-post

-f-holes

-tail piece

-fine tuners

-end-pin

Answer 3

There are many parts to make but the main things would be wood (painted) and horse hair (for the bow)

Answer 4

the actual cello parts are: tapes, bridge, finger board, strings, f holes, fine tuners, tuners, and end pin

Answer 5

Top, back, ribs, neck, scroll, linings, blocks, bass bar, purflling, pegs, nut, fingerboards, strings, bridge, tailpiece, saddle, endpin, varnish.
