"Another strange phenomenon of stringed instrument sound production is that while violinists and violists have the sound coming right into their left ear, cellists are physically behind the sound production of their instrument. Cellists hear their instrument in a markedly different way. They perceive the sound of their instrument as it vibrates the air around them."
Interesting blog post via Fein Violins dealing with differences in perception. I’d never thought before about how cellists hear the music differently from other string players…
