Cello
Francesca Ter-Berg by Iggy Crespop
Stu Brotman
Many pictures of klezmer bands in the earlier 20th century include a cello; some players have a strap around the neck they could play while walking. Cellists mostly provided a bass, or perhaps tenor line. Today, they might also play melody lines as well.
