cello players
Seated orchestra members
Cello players are musicians who play the cello, the second-largest instrument in the violin family.
The term functions identically to cellists but sounds less formal: The cello players warmed up backstage.
Like other compound player terms, it emphasizes the activity rather than professional identity.
