Hard to tell how pony anatomy factors in, but that looks about right.
Cello's still funner to say though. |
| dragonSpike #99780 1 year ago |
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. |

Sorry buddy, it's pretty close to unanimous. :P |

I love how the type of instrument bothered a stringnazi more than how the hell she holds the bow or fingers the fingerboard. |
| MyLittleJosieph #99797 1 year ago |
Obviously, this is a Double Cello. |

^We've already decided that some insane, unexplainable magic allows ponies to play the instruments... :P
It's better that way. |

| AdrianBrony #99806 1 year ago |
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. |
| Aponymousse #99808 1 year ago |
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? |
| Low_Key #99813 1 year ago |
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. |

But then you realize ponies are smaller than humans |
| Anonymous #99852 1 year ago |
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 love octavia and her cello playing.
plus, according to the rule of doubles, she is my perfect match? so dont dis octavia -_- |

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. |

| Anonymous #104863 1 year ago |
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 |
