Violin and Cello Duets by Jeremy Cohen & Andrés Vera: Tango Eight

Violin:
The violin, viola, and cello were first made in the early 16th century, in Italy.
Violins are likely to have been developed from a number of other string
instruments of the 15th and 16th centuries, including the vielle, rebec,
and lira da braccio. The history of bowed string instruments in
Europe goes back to the 9th century with the Byzantine lira.
The violin, also known as a fiddle, is a string instrument,
usually with four strings tuned in perfect fifths.
It is the smallest, highest-pitched member of the
violin family of string instruments.

Cello:
The cello or violoncello is a bowed string instrument with four strings tuned in perfect fifths. It is a member of the violin family of musical instruments, which also includes the violin and viola.

The cello is used as a solo musical instrument, as well as in chamber music ensembles, string orchestras, as a member of the string section of symphony orchestras, and some rock bands. It is the second-largest bowed string instrument in the modern symphony orchestra, the double bass being the largest.

Cellos were derived from other mid- to large-sized bowed
instruments in the 16th century, such as the viola da gamba,
and the generally smaller and squarer viola da braccio,
and such instruments made by members of the
Amati family of luthiers.

Cello parts are generally written in the bass clef,
but both tenor and treble clefs are used for higher-range parts.

A person who plays the cello is called a cellist or violoncellist.
