Er der forskel mellem cello og violin harpiks?
Violin family
Navne på instrumenter i violinfamilien er alle afledt af roden viola, som er en afledning af det middelalderlige latinske ord vitula (der betyder "strygeinstrument"). En violin er en "lille viola", en violone er en "stor viola" eller en basviolin, og en violoncello (ofte forkortet cello) er en "lille violone" (eller bogstaveligt talt en "lille stor viola"). (Violone er ikke en del af den moderne violinfamilie; dens plads er indtaget af den moderne kontrabas, et instrument med en blanding af violin- og gambeegenskaber).
Violin family
Instrument names in the violin family are all derived from the root viola, which is a derivative of the Medieval Latin word vitula (meaning "stringed instrument"). A violin is a "little viola", a violone is a "big viola" or a bass violin, and a violoncello (often abbreviated cello) is a "small violone" (or literally, a "small big viola"). (The violone is not part of the modern violin family; its place is taken by the modern double bass, an instrument with a mix of violin and viol characteristics.)
