Another instrument that is fairly easy to start and suitable for kids 6 years and older. It is essentially a large violin but its body is thicker. It is played the same way as the violin, by rubbing the bow across the string. But whereas you can play the violin standing up, the cello is played sitting down while holding it between your legs. It also comes in different sizes from full size to 1/4.
