It depends on the height of the player to, tall cellist need to have the cello laying down rather than bending over it

@xbasket12x Hey man, chill no need for mean comments calling someone out =] Not many people know the actual names of the cellos, or who has them. Enjoy the genius of Rostropovich and hush.

@notionpollution The Strad he had before he passed away is NOT in Yo-Yo's possession. He has the Davidov while Rostro had the Duport. Get your facts correct

@notionpollution I hold my cello the exact same way. I've just found it to be more comfortable and it's easier to go up into higher positions when it's right there and you aren't hunched over the cello. If somebody got on my case about that I'd probably stab them with my bow.

C-string at the recap at 6:10! I love it!!!!
It's true, the Russian school does teach that the cello lies down rather than stands up, hence the angle that R has his cello at.
By the way the grandfather of the Russian school was Davidov. The stradivarius he owned is in yoyo ma's possesion now.
I think Rostropovich is unmatched though.

Yeah, the Russian cello gang near the corner of 5th and 3rd on my block is always tilting towards traffic provocatively.
