The history of the acoustic cello dates back centuries and its appearance and design has remained virtually unchanged since it made its debut in the early 1600s. Because of its distinct tone and powerful sound, the acoustic cello has become a mainstay in modern music. Everyone from The Beatles to Cher to the Smashing Pumpkins have used the cello in their recordings and live performances.
