Describe two differences between the violin and cello

The Cello is much larger and lower than the viola, and must be played while sitting with the instrument between the knees. Fortunately, cellos are made for students of all sizes.

The Violin is the smallest, and is therefore the highest in pitch. It is also the most popular. It is played with the instrument under the chin while sitting or standing, and its small size makes it easily transporable.
