There are many accessories for the cello.

* Cases are used to protect the cello and bow (or multiple bows).
* [[Rosin]], made from [[resin]]s [[Resin extraction|tapped]] from [[Pinophyta|conifers]], is applied to the bow hair to increase the effectiveness of the friction, grip or bite, and allow proper sound production. Rosin may have additives to modify the friction such as beeswax, gold, silver or tin. Commonly, rosins are classified as either dark or light, referring to color.
* [[Endpin]] stops or straps (tradenames include Rock stop and Black Hole) keep the cello from sliding if the endpin does not have a rubber piece on the end, or if a floor is particularly slippery.
* [[Wolf tone eliminator]]s are placed on cello strings between the tailpiece and the bridge to eliminate acoustic anomalies known as [[wolf tone]]s or "wolfs".
* [[Mute (music)#String|Mutes]] are used to change the sound of the cello by adding mass and stiffness to the bridge. They alter the [[overtone]] structure, modifying the timbre and reducing the overall volume of sound produced by the instrument.
* [[Metronome]]s provide a steady [[tempo]] by sounding out a certain number of beats per minute. This tool is often used to instill a sense of rhythm into a musician. It acts as a mirror for rhythmic stability, allowing the musician to analyze where they rush or drag a tempo.
*Fine tuners, located on the tailpiece, allow the cello to be tuned easily and with greater accuracy.
