Both my instructor and I were surprised with the quality. Great cello for a beginner, very affordable.
Sound post is not installed but that’s how they transport cellos and you can install it for $20.

This version of the student cello is poor craftmanship. The varnish is very high, very indicative of poor quality. You don’t want a cello that shiny, it is a tell tale sign of poor wood. The pegs are supposed to fully fill the peg slots, this poor craftmanship shows that it does not. Its VERY difficult to tune and the fine tuners on the bottom are very difficult to tune as well. I suggest buying an electric tuner seeing as you will be tuning often since the instrument doesn’t maintain a good tune for long. The sound severely lacks full rich notes. The notes sound twangy and squeaky almost…..the beginner cellist will sound even worse than they should. The pegs are also painted black….so yes, the pegs are of the poorest quality. Bright side, it is sturdy enough for a child to learn on thus far. It comes with a decent enough bow. The stand is nice. You have back up strings which you will need because of the terrible tuning experience. You have decent enough rosin included. It’s not a bargain as it seems. Save your money, rent to own if you can. Plus, this version is sold for 150 USD cheaper elsewhere. I highly recommend you go elsewhere. I went to Fletcher Hinton to have the cello proficiently tuned seeing as I was having such a difficult time tuning it myself. The employed musician there helped show me the difference between a mid quality used cello and this one. The used mid quality cello soared in sound, sturdiness, and craftsmanship. The used cello made this new poor quality cello look like a toy. Save your money.

I’m absolutely impressed. I was a little nervous ordering it online but absolutely worth it! Just came in didn’t take long at all! I definitely recommend buying one if your interested. And the shade of blue is beautiful!

For the price it was well worth it. I stopped playing after high school and wanted to get back into it, this was a great and cost effective way.
Included was 2 full sets of strings, bridge, sound bar (installed), tail piece, cello, rosin, bow, microfiber cloth, stand, and a soft case.
The cello arrived with the strings and bridge removed (states that in description) and the sound bar in place where it should be although that can pop loose in shipping. If you do not know how to set a cello up, YouTube is a great place to get some info or any music shop worth their salt can do it for you. Getting the bridge and sound bar in their correct spots is important to the sound quality of the instrument. So you may want the professionals to do it. The bow is complete and just needed a quick tighten and some rosin.
I got the black one and the finish is not perfect but unless you are looking for defects it is good to go. The dust really shows on that black background. The included microfiber cloth makes easy work of it though.
The sound can be a bit metallic but I have read and heard some professionals recommend switching to higher quality strings. I personally have not seen it as a big issue as long as I have good contact and vibration. In all, it sounds just fine to me. However, I am not a connoisseur… yet. 😏
Some cons:
The tuning pegs worked them selves loose and it wasn’t staying in tune very well. I fixed this by coating the pegs with chalk. That added some more friction and I haven’t had any issues since.
The tail piece is a little bit cheap, but it does do the job and it has fine-tune adjusters.
Overall, I would absolutely suggest buying this for a beginner or for someone who wants to start up again without wanting to buy a more expensive student cello.

The young musician loves it. It’s perfect for beginners and comes all equipped except, curiously, for the anti slip anchor pad, which I had to buy separately.

This cello came fully packed with everything you need to have as a beginner. It comes in a case that includes 4 brand new replacement strings in addition to the ones already on the instrument, the bridge, bow, rosin and the stand. The stand itself is not the best quality but it works for now. My instructor adjusted all the strings and pegs, and put in the bridge which is slightly high causing more spacing between the string and the actual cello so when you play you really have to push down hard on those strings.. for a petite woman like myself this will be challenging at first while I build up strength in my hand. The color is just absolutely gorgeous, is a deep dark purple that shines and sparkles under a bright light. Overall the sound is good too. The only thing I will have to do to make it better is get quality strings, and shave off the bridge a little to bring it down some. I love this cello, totally worth the money and is suitable for a beginner.
