I want to learn string instrument but i can't choose between Cello and Violin?

As a pianist, with no experience in strings, you may find my answering awkward. (In my personal opinion, cello is the way to go!) Each has value, that is certain. There is a lot that should be considered. Will one or the other be more bersome to play for you? Portableness (the English language rocks, you can make up words... besides, portability is a business thing... random tangent...) is another. The violin is small, the cello not so much. Another aspect to consider is sound. Listen to several recordings where each instrument is predominant and think about which one you like more. Also consider comfort in actually playing the instrument; the violin being under your chin, and the cello on the floor in front of you. Also, the size of your hands! I'm not saying that really matters, because, as with piano, small isn't necessarily bad, it just has it's disadvantages. So, think about your hand size in comparison to the instrument. Well, that's enough rambling from me!
