Do you have to tune a Cello?

Yes, cellos need to be tuned regularly. Like other stringed instruments, their pitch can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the strings. Since their strings are longer and thicker than a violin, cellos have a lower pitch. Most modern cellos are tuned in fifths, with the standard tuning being C-G-D-A.
