The CellosThe string section of a symphony orchestra consists primarily of bowed string instruments, including violins (both first and second), violas, cellos, and double basses, making it the largest group in a standard orchestra. Historically, the arrangement and size of the string section have evolved from smaller ensembles in earlier periods to larger sections in the Romantic era, and it has also influenced various music genres, including jazz and pop. A string orchestra comprises only string instruments, while instrumentation can vary significantly based on the composer’s specifications and the piece's requirements. (Source: Wikipedia)
