Violins, violas and cellos all belong to the violin family. However, the string bass is a different sort of instrument. It is the only surviving orchestral member of the viol family. It is scaled from viols such as the viol de gamba etc. It is interesting to also note tha string basses are supposed to have frets and with such sound more clearly!
