I'm a pretty good drummer. I'm pretty good at guitar, bass and piano. I can play accordion; I'm not virtuoso. I've played cello before. My sister played it, and I know how to play it, but I'm not the best. Violin is kind of the same thing.

Brendon Urie

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.

Luka Sulic

People tend to eat through the cello. They tend to take out the things that make it beautifully cello-y sometimes.

Julia Kent

My favorite guitar now is my Martin HD-7 because it's got everything. It's got the jingle-jangle thing from the twelve string, it's got the flexibility of the six string, and the bass notes where you can do bass runs and that sort of thing.

Roger McGuinn

I have two main bass guitars, and my main bass is a four-string 1964 Fender Jazz, and I've named it Justine.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner

I often play on the cello-bass side of the orchestra, because I prefer the deep sounds. I can't hear the violins well.

Evelyn Glennie

Maybe that's what makes my stuff different, 'cause I write it all on the bass. I can't play but a few chords on the guitar, so the bass works just fine for me.

Steve Harris

I guess I'm interested in pushing the boundaries of the cello without giving up on the idea of playing the cello, if that makes any sense. I have no real interest in putting the cello through different effects to make it sound like a guitar or other instruments.

Okkyung Lee

I play guitar, bass, drums, piano, and pretty much any sort of stringed instrument - besides violin or cello.

Mark Foster

Cello is my first instrument, then piano, drums, bass, violin, recorder, saxophone, but I'd never play them live!

Dev Hynes

I think a double bass for me would be too much effort. But the cello, you're really engaged and the sound is kind of right here. So, it feels like being merged, married to an instrument.

Tod Machover

I like to think about stringing songs together like a string of pearls, or a string of beads, but ultimately it has to be stuff that really works with the band, and gives a spin to the older material.

Emmylou Harris

My first instrument was an accordion. Growing up in Louisiana, my grandmother gave me an accordion because of our Cajun heritage.

Hunter Hayes

I love the cello, I love the physical sense of an instrument that's about the size of your body that vibrates enough that even if you play an open string, you feel it.

Tod Machover

Some people play steel string beautifully, but I'm not exactly a world-class picker.

Lou Barlow

I started to play noise on my cello because I felt a deep personal connection to it. I mean, I still love all the beautiful sounds of the cello as much as anybody but it's only when I play certain sounds I know that the cello really presents who I am; not my emotions but who I am as a person.
