[@jdcviolin]

That's so interesting! I wasn't aware that this existed. Since the body of the cello is purposely bigger to accommodate for the low resonance, wouldn't the small body of the chin cello affect the low frequencies?

[@ElectricViolinShop]

Yeah - they don't really bring the thunder until you plug them in. Then they sound WAY bigger than a cello. A cello body has limitations, too. But a piezo pickup can reproduce frequencies lower than the human ear can hear.

[@hsc7560]

As an answer to the actual question - about switching from viola to cello - I found it ok but definitely a bit weird with the clefs. I started on violin before adding viola and then becoming predominantly a viola player. So I had already switched from treble clef to alto clef which was sweet. Then as a viola player I found myself playing a lot of accompaniments by reading the bass clef of piano or choral music so I was pretty happy converting from bass clef music to finger patterns on the viola. When I went to cello though it was obviously an octave away from what I was reading on viola! That sometimes tripped me up when I wasn't paying attention! I'd say though that switching between string instruments is not too difficult as you have a lot of the core techniques down. Things to watch are - the lower the instrument, the longer and slower the vibrato you use. And the bow feels so different when playing cello! (Oh and make sure to buy cello rosin as it's a lot thicker) Should probably say I'm not a professional musician but have played strings since being a kid so a 20yr hobby

I've heard it suggested that that's what Bach was playing when he wrote the cello suites. Only they call it violoncello dalla spalla, because there were no chinrests in the 18th century.

[@ElectricViolinShop]

It's true. Bach never saw a modern acoustic violin. They weren't invented until after he died. He played a baroque violin (different neck, strings, and tuning).
