Hard to tell how pony anatomy factors in, but that looks about right.

Cello's still funner to say though.

Keep in mind, Ponies are smaller. They'd have to stand to play a cello.

Why does she have a treble clef symbol as her cutie mark anyway

jesus.

Also agree with anon above me, a sitting pony sitting like normal, or Lyra, wouldnt' be able to play.

I prefer Cello b/c it fits the group they had better.

I love how the type of instrument bothered a stringnazi more than how the hell she holds the bow or fingers the fingerboard.

plus whatever octavia is playing seems to be shapes more like the cello.

AND she is smaller than a person so an actual double bass might be too big for her to pley even standing up.

I would have to agree with MyLittleJosieph. It must be a Double Cello.

To everypony harping on the pony anatomy difference- why is there a pony playing a correctly-sized piano right next to her, then? Or the harp? Or the tuba?

Well, ponies aren't human height, are they? Wouldn't a pony standing up next to a cello look... exactly like that?

I have to say, assuming the size difference between a MLP pony and a person is what it seems to be (that they're little?) and taking into account the event and the rest of the group, it's a cello. Her size creates the illusion that it's larger then it is (again, though, that's based on an assumption).

but I think the event and the ensemble is more important. If they were a jazz band I could see a bass, but with all those cultured, holier-then-thou aristocrats (even Octavia seemed a little uptight) I say it's a Cello.

It's a goddamn cello; the tuning pegs are the nail in the "double bass" coffin.

The only other instrument it could possibly be is a Bass Cello, an instrument that fell out of common use in the 17th century and was replaced by both the Cello and Double Bass; having traits from each.

I find it unlikely the animators would give Octavia a 17th-century instrument, though. Thus, it's a Cello.

Octavia is a pony. Ponies are smaller than people. Hence why she must stand up to play what is clearly a cello.

For Celestia's sake...

Ponies are small. To them, cello's are just as big as a double bass is to us. It's a cello, guys.

... And you don't play double bass with a bow.

I'm liking the new and surprisingly-plausible bass cello hypothesis.

It's not like it'd be the first bit of 17th-century gear we've seen on the show.

Listen to the actual piece, it may be played upright but in the actual song (Pony Pokey) the bass is covered by the Tuba player while you can clearly hear a Cello part.

It does appear to be a Bass from the image, but going by the sound it's obviously a cello - I doubt they do much research about little things like this when they're animating the scenes
