I play the cello and the cello is a very beautiful instrument. It is not the easiest instrument to learn. It is also not the most difficult. If you really want to play the cello practice and practice. It is not only the fingerings and techniques that you need to learn, you also need to memorize the notes and scales and other things.

It all depends on the person and their age honestly. I've been playing since 4th grade and my junior year of high school I tried to pick up baritone and it was a little difficult. It's just note memorization, correct holding of the cello and bow, and correct finger positioning.

Absolutely! It's only easier because if you know the piano, you have an understanding of how reading music works and your left fingers are stronger (The left fingers do the fingering). The cello is an awesome instrument that will be a lot easier if you know the piano.

I have seen it done, and I can tell you it is quite effective. The player was a soprano who accompanied herself on cello, creating a very nice duet sound.

If you already know how to read sheet music and have a firm idea on how to play it on say piano. then it's a lot easier. however i imagine it'll still be a challenge.

Possibly, but it's always best to stick to one instrument to advance the most.

What is the best way to learn a three quarter cello?

A three quarter cello is no different than a regular cello other than it's size. The 3 quarter cello is smaller and suitable for younger players, but it makes the exact same pitches and works exactly the same way. You want to learn to play the cello, and the best way to do it is either in a school setting or in a private lesson. I learned the cello in a combination of the two, and I am now one of the top players in my school. I obviously didn't try to learn the cello myself without a teacher, so you're going to need another answer for that. Hope you have fun learning to play the cello!
