I haven't measured the decibels, but a fine violinist with a good instrument which projects well can play extremely softly (even without a mute) and pretty penetratingly on the upper strings. The violinist cannot compete with brass or percussion fortes and should not try to play loud because forcing the sound will actually deaden it and create a bad tone. Getting the maximum volume is based on good, relaxed, unforced arm weight and a feel for the contact between the bow and the string and goes hand in hand with developing a mature tone.

A skilled cellist can get a very loud tone out of a cello. An important consideration is the quality of the cello. Inexpensive cellos tend not to project as well as the fancier ones do.

With normal tunings a cello can reach the C two octaves below middle C, which is one octave below the lowest note for a viola.
