First of all, its spelled cello. Or, more correctly, 'cello, which is short for violincello. Just had to correct that earlier person. (I'm a cellist, what can I say?)

You probably can't start this beautiful instrument because you do need left arm strength as the other person mentioned. However, piano is a gorgeous place to start. Yes, many people play it. But they play it for a reason. It's versatile, it has a huge repertoire, and if you ever choose to start another instrument, the knowledge you'll gain from the piano is immeasurable.

Other options include: oboe, bassoon, French Horn, saxophone, guitar, voice (always to be considered. The human voice is an amazing instrument), electric bass, any type of recorder.

Good luck.

clarinet would be the best in my opinion...

don't play the cello!

i personally play it and i like it a lott

but you need to do the fingerings and hold down the strings with your left arm

which means that you'll have to hold your left arm high up for a long period of time

go for clarinet:)

i played it and your arms really don't hurt

because you just keep both of your arms down when playing..

good luck!:)
try the french horn i play that and they have supports for ur left hand (pinky and thumb) and its just three notes and u dont really have to hold it up... besides the french horn parts arent too intense
play or learn piano. At least, your arms are by your side and don't need ant effort to hold since they are resting at 90 deg.
perhaps piano

or basoon or oboe or clarinet

you dont have to hold you arms up high its sorta low actually
piano would probably be the best because you don't have to hold anything up at all.
TRY A GUITAR OR A PIANO OR A FLUTE AND SOMETHING
the chello!

the chello is so kick ***!

i wanna learn to play badly,but cant
