Is a Cello hard to play.you use to play the flute and are very committed to playing a Cello?

A cello is a completely different clef (bass clef, flute uses treble), technique, key signatures (flute is in concert tuning, while cello is not), and sound. Starting off it will hurt your fingers since the strings are more unforgiving that the flute's valves. The more you practice the better you will become. If you are just starting I would recommend you find a cello teacher.


Who is the appropriate clef sign for the string family?

Unless I'm mistaken, the higher voices of the string family (the violin, etc.) play in the treble clef. The lower voices (the cello, and anything else apart from the viola) play in the bass clef. The viola plays in the special, Alto clef. Research this on a more accurate website to gain a verified answer.


Where can you find cello notes?

If I understand the question correctly, you should look up the "bass clef" a.k.a.

If you were asking where you could find sheet music, try http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/
