People who are saying "Guitar" or "Piano" don't play insturments.
The cello:
1. You're literally sitting when you play, whereas many violinists, violists, and bass players have to stand.
2. Big enough strings to not cause a player to develop callouses, no pain/bleeding.
3. Almost always only play one string at a time - no knowledge needed of chords.
4. Until you get ultra good, you will only need to learn 1 clef, and only a handful of key signatures
I think guitar and piano are among the harder of instruments to learn. Bowed string instruments are among the easiest.
A friend learns Piano and she has tried some instruments. She told me cello and violin are one of the most difficult to even begin. But I will explore this.
