This Cello Has 5 Strings!!

- The violoncello piccolo is a unique baroque instrument as it has 5 strings instead of the typical 4 strings! As it turns out, Bach wrote the 6th cello suite for the violoncello piccolo! This is what the Bach Cello Suite 6 sounds like on the instrument that the suite was intended to be played on!

The violin cello piccolo! It had SO much more ease in the tone and the sound makes more sense, if you will. Just delightful!
I’d love to see a full performance of this! Really loved the ornamentation
I have a 5 string Cello. The other cool thing is that you can also play Violin music an Octave lower than written because the E String is the same as on a Violin but an Octave lower.
There are cello obligato parts in some Bach cantatas that were meant to be played on either a violoncello piccolo or a violoncello da spalla (a smaller 5-string “cello” with a strap and is played across the chest.
I much preferred the sound quality of the violoncello. Perhaps that's because its just crafted in a more expensive fashion than the piccolo cello, and while it might be very convenient having that e string, the way the standard cello sounds is just more gripping to me.
I think you're hearing the gut strings, they produce that kind if sound
@@samuelungar6528 oh, I suppose I forgot about the pig intestine element.
The piccolo has a ‘wider’, mellower tone with the gut strings. It also fits the (ideal) smaller spaces you’d want to play in. Ya know, rich aristocrats with their mini (dedicated) chamber music rooms. 😂
This is the best instrument
The vioncello version
ived watched this video so many times! im begging u to do more with the violincello piccolo
Lovely 👏
This piccolo cello is the violin-viola of the cellos
Wish the piccolo cello's E string wasn't so nasally; I always search for A strings that aren't at all nasally, so the E string would definitely need to better fit the timbre of a normal cello. That said, it's a really good concept!
When you add that fifth high E string, I am curious how you manage the temperament. If one uses Pythagorean tuning throughout (mathematically pure chain of perfect fifths in a 3:2 ratio), then the high E string is going to sound sharp against the C string relative to the mathematically just intonation of a 5:4 ratio. If you adjust the tuning so that the E string's interval with the C string is pure, then at least one of the other strings will sound flat and thus discordant against an adjacent string. How do you negotiate the mathematical deviations for an acceptable tuning?
that looks like the cello piccolo of the messiah
Where can one buy cello piccolo and how much does it cost?
You can generally find them online for a few thousand dollars (and if you know anything about actual cello prices you’ll know that’s not too bad). Most of them that are available are modern recreations, if you want an authentic instrument from the time period those will generally be much more expensive. For example, there is a violoncello piccolo made in 1600 by Amati that is probably valued at ungodly amounts of money.
@@jtaicello That's not bad at all
I probably won't actually get myself one for a while, though
aku suka 5 senar. aku juga punya fiddle 5 senar😊
I was confused why his strings were out of tune. Turns out, he tunes to A 415 even though the normal is A 440 which is interesting. And the end pin doesn’t touch the floor which means you have to hold it in the legs
The "standard" baroque tuning used today is A = 415 Hz, although some baroque period ensembles today deviate from it. Tuning back in the baroque period was not standardized and there was considerable variation in the pitch of an A, with some tuning it as low as A = 392 Hz or as high as A = 465 Hz. The idea of a standardized tuning system is a modern invention.
@@violintegral thanks
Nope
Well… im glad were in the modern age because ( sorry to say) i never liked classical or baroque music. Yes iam getting classically trained as a cellist but wont be playing any classical music except for just handful.
Bro cheated on his cello with a double bass but still holds bow like a cello bow
You mean the one that he rick roll on a violone?
Btw, it’s tuned from G3-D3-A2-E2-C2-G1 which is different from modern double bass tuning
Your fourth string is not in tune dude. Thats an Ab
No, it is in tune with the reference pitch of A = 415 Hz, which sounds like an Ab on a cello tuned to A = 440 Hz. As long as all of the strings are in tune in relation to each other, there is no problem. You can shift the pitch of all of the strings together up or down as much as you like.
@@violintegral Ah ok. Thanks for the info!
