Please note that the bridge will not be setup before shipment to avoid damage to the cello body during transit.
Measuring yourself or a child for cello size: Seat the child (or yourself) so that the knees are bent at a ninety degree angle. The instrument should rest such that the upper rim of the cello body rests on the sternum (breast bone), and the left knee contacts the curve below the lower bout corner. The C string peg (for the thickest string) should be near the left ear, with the neck a few inches away from the shoulder, and the left hand able to reach both ends of the fingerboard with ease.
Hand size is also the primary consideration when determining the proper size to purchase. Too large an instrument can throw your balance off and/or induce tension in the left hand. If the choice between two sizes of instrument is close choose the smaller. Refer to our recommended ages and sizes on the right.
Please keep in mind that this is a rough scale, and may not necessarily work for your child. Also, don't forget to consider your child's growth pattern, which might be an important factor!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Student Cello
*by  on Reviewed in the United States May 26, 2018*

I am a student. I didn't want to waste my money if I wasn't going to keep up with the cello, so I bought this one because of the price, and because it seemed to come with everything I wanted to just pick it up and play right away. I have had years now so I feel confident to tell you about my experience with this cello.I was a bit worried about such an item being shipped to me, but my shipping experience was a good one.Pros: Cheap, comes with most everything you may need to start playing, it comes strung. Sounds nice for a cheap cello, crazy I know, but if you cared enough to get new strings, I think this cello will have a really nice sound to it.Cons: You are going to have to get better rosin, just plan on the expense, trust me it won't even play until you do! Strings are crap, they just don't sound very nice, but that is really minor to me since I am trying to learn. This complaint is also really minor, but I use the hard cello case instead of the stand to store it to keep my cats from messing with it, and one of the handles on the side fell off within the first few weeks of having it. I wasn't even carrying it around, I was literally just using the case as storage. It doesn't come with a tuner, you may want to get one. IT WILL NOT STAY TUNED. I am not talking about between sessions either as that can be expected, the large tuning pegs at the top have to be slammed into the top so hard that it is nearly impossible to tune, and once you do finally have it tuned the pegs will loosen up nearly immediately while you practice. Just be forewarned, it is a major annoyance, one I am not sure how you would fix beyond replacing that entire top bit. This is my biggest complaint: I will already have to get a new bow soon, since the bow is already falling to pieces. I have not been hard on the poor thing, and treated it with the utmost care, but the strings are falling out at an alarming rate recently! :(Overall, I know there are a lot of complaints, but I just think you should come into this purchase eyes wide open. There ARE problems with the cello, BUT I am still happy about the purchase! I want to learn how to play before I really invest a lot of money into a fine instrument, and this cello is fulfilling the purpose I bought it for! I may be delusional about this thinking, but I feel like with some work to this instrument from someone who knew what they were doing, it could become a nice mid-ranged cello.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great buy - would strongly recommend
*by  on Reviewed in the United States May 10, 2020*

Im a self-taught adult beginner - I spent months scouring the internet for advice and recommendations regarding getting the best bang for my buck for a starter cello. This company kept popping up on every list I found for reccommended beginner cellos. I made sure to buy the version with real ebony fittings (versus the lower numbered models available), as that seemed to be a better investment and where I prioritized my spending for. So I took the dive and got it and I'm very impressed.First off - I was anxious due to other reviews and pictures of folks recieving their cellos scratched/dinged up. Mine was not - it came in pristine condition.Second - you're buying a bundle package and its not expensive. There's a reason for that 🤣 you cant expect top quality without spending top dollar on certain items....instruments are one of those items lol. The rosin is not good (my instrument produced a sound that was 10 times better just by buying a quality DARK rosin). The bow could stand with an upgrade, same with the strings. You'll also need to buy a cello stopper so your instrument isn't sliding around when trying to play it. And the instrument ARRIVES WITH THE BRIDGE DOWN - the company is very clear about this, so the reviews dinging it for arriving without the bridge up perplexed me. (There are YouTube videos that instruct you on how to install the bridge properly).I recently took the instrument to a luthier and got their input - I was pleased to hear that they found it to be exactly what I wanted; an instrument that will be enjoyable to learn on because it does sound nice and is pretty nicely constructed and will carry me into intermediate levels. At that point I'll invest more heavily in a better instrument if my passion continues. The manufacturing errors was the necks varnish was filed down some to fit the ebony fretboard 🤷 it took a professional to pount that out to me, so I'm not worried about it. Tweaks can be, should be, made to bring out the potential sound quality of the instrument (adjusting the bridge, knot, and string height for example). That said though, the cello stand is NICE, as is the hard carrying case and the bones of the instrument.Third - I UNDERSTAND that the options of renting from a string store would have been/would be a better deal than buying this instrument. You get a better quality instrument and the renting would/could be cheaper. But, for me, this was a more feasible option given my city doesnt have a store that rents out cellos (the closest one is over an hour away) and given the COVID situation, I had no idea when such stores would reopen or even exist when this passes.I'd recommend this purchase and I'm very pleased with it.

### ⭐ Beyond disappointed!!!!!!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States October 26, 2013*

Let me start with this....DO YOUR HOMEWORK 1ST !I am a beginning cello student with a former background as a classically trained flautist and am fairlycomfortable with the idea...you get what you pay for..I did not expect the cello to be of symphony caliber...what I did expect is that Amazon's advertising, would correctlyand adequately represent the purchase.Upon receiving...advertised bow and stand were missing ( no biggie, call and get replacements ).The bridge is not attached (standard for shipping) you therefore must get a luthier or competentrepair/set-up specialist to service instrument ( which I did ).I was told.. In order to make this a playable cello, I would need to:A) Have nut rescored and shavenB) Have new, higher ( unsupplied ) bridge replacementC) The fingerboard needed reshaping and he could not do because it was too thin and painted (not rosewood, as advertised)Reshaping was necessary to learn proper note placement, otherwise everything would be a 'fret' too sharp fromstraining to press down string......very sore. calloused fingers and NO joy in playing= instrument collectingdust in corner from unuse. Bowing would also be effectedD) Have the body/tonal(treble)pin and bass pin repositioned.E) Advertised solid spruce top is nothing more than plywood with a spruce veneer...not much could be done aboutthis and I was told it would severely effect sound.In all a 350$ job. Add this to the 234$..you've just spent, well you get the picture. As I see it I had 2 choices:A)Suck it up, spend the money and I would have had a still less than so-so acceptable cello that was cheaperthan a quality entry level instrument.ORB)Spend the money on the quality entry level instrument that would well serve me into intermediate/advanced beginnerlevels, and still have a fine instrument to resell or pass down. ( Let me state that I am a beginning adult player)Amazon's misleading print about this instrument has cost me time, money, frustrations and delays...People, please keep ...this is mind ' YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR ' you will never find a new cello with rosewood/ebony fingerboards and tuners for less than 800-1000$. Unpainted, hardwood fingerboards are relatively necessary if you need tofine tune instrument ,from a bowing and action perspective (mentioned above).If you are an adult or child that really,really, really loves music, who believes they have the ability to learn andwants to put in the time practicing and not end up hating the instrument...do yourself the favor of doing your homework....Save and research. Thanks.
