    Soundwise or visually? I can see the difference (big vs little) but I don’t think I could reliably pick out the sound between the two.

      I was thinking visually. But even sound-wise I don’t think most people would hear a cello and think that’s a violin (even if they don’t know it’s a cello). But I’ve listened to a lot of Apocalyptica and 2Cellos, and I also grew up on cartoons that feature tubas frequently for comedic effect, so maybe I’m just biased.

        I found this video and I really wouldn’t be able to tell if it was just sound. I think I have like 2 categories I can reliably do for strings: bow or not.
