E dim7 Chord on Cello
Play E dim7 on Cello: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.
The E dim7 chord is a diminished chord built from stacked minor thirds, often used as a passing or leading chord. It is built from the notes E, G, A#, C#. This page shows how to play E dim7 on Cello with clear fingerboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The shape nearest the nut leaves the G string open and takes the rest in position 4, reaching across 5 positions. E falls on the C string. It sounds from E2 up to C#4.
Cello is bowed, with a bare fingerboard and no fixed stops, so this is really a double-stop study: two strings at a time speak cleanly, and the full stack is rolled rather than sounded at once.
Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on E or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
