The cello is the most perfect instrument aside from the human voice.

It is the closest instrument to the human voice, and the things you can do on the cello... there are endless possibilities.

The range of the cello is so big, it can play as low as the double bass and as high as the violin. It has the perfect shape, and its sound is the closest to the human voice.

The human voice is the first and most natural musical instrument, also the most emotional.

When I started learning the cello, I fell in love with the instrument because it seemed like a voice - my voice.

The cello is such a melancholy instrument, such an isolated, miserable instrument.
