Fun fact: a cello is tuned to C, G, D, and A, which is the first four parts of the circle of fifths.
Violins are tuned a fifth higher (G, D, A, & E), so you can count the string you are on for an easy way to tell how many sharps are in the key signature - A = third string = three sharps.
Hah, awesome! I actually played cello for a few years in elementary school, and I guess at that age they don't really go heavy on the theory. I never put this together even after learning all this stuff in high school.
