Detailed explanation-1: -The Cello has four strings, tuned in 5ths to C, G, D and A. The lower strings have a richer, darker sound and to exploit this it is quite common for composers to write that a particular phrase should be played on a particular string.
Detailed explanation-2: -How to Tune a Cello. The cello has four strings which are tuned in perfect fifths. The notes are: C, G, D, and A and ascend in order of pitch-with C being the lowest note and A the highest. Cellos are tuned by turning the pegs that the strings are wrapped around.
Detailed explanation-3: -The cello da spalla has a shorter body than the standard cello to help the high e’ string tuning, and the reach of the musician. Although it was written for a different instrument, the Sixth Suite is more suited to a 5 string cello than the traditional cello.
