Christian Elliott cellist So you strung your Cello like a Violin for this piece.

How did you get the GDAE Tuning on your Cello?

[@cellio9]

Thanks for listening! Larsen strings make E-strings for cello, so I used that as my top string.

@@cellio9 Interestingly, D'addario makes Cello E-Strings too, & so does Thomistic.

@@cellio9 Play some Violin pieces on the Cello 8vb. I have a 5 String Cello tuned CGDAE which gives me a full 5 Octave Range

Christian Elliott cellist Why tune your Cello like a Violin? Don't you find this allows you to play Violin pieces on the Cello.
