Euro-style Cello Set with Stand

Rating

This is the second cello we have purchased for our son from overstock.com. The first was the student cello 3/4 size which he used for 3 years and we then donated it to the school because it still has more years left. Our son is tall for his age and needed the full size 4/4 cello so we purchased this one. The hard case is great for a middle school/highschool student beacuse it truly protects the cello. His music teacher is very pleased with our purchase and commented on what a great purchase it was. You can't beat the price in any store here. It sounds delightful as the cello should and we look forward to many more years of hearing it's music.

Purchased for my daughter whose been playing for about two years now. Other reviews indicated cello is perfect as is, not in our case. Overall I still think a good deal. Negative: Had to replace the pegs and bridge for proper setup. I decided to replace the strings with a better quality set, but high strings continue to have a "screeching" sound. Cello stand would not hold cello, kept falling over. Positive: Hard and soft cases, good bow, warm sound in lower strings, and great price for beginner to intermediate cello students.

Pleasantly surprised with this cello. The one I have has a "bright and warm" sound. This is a great improvement on the first student model I had. It would be appropriate for the beginner to intermediate student, or just someone like me wanting to pick it up again to play for the enjoyment. There is no manufacturer's label inside, but is of Chinese origin which is becomimg more common. A few very slight imperfections to the critical eye, but can't complain at this price. They even included rosin which I discovered after stopping by the local music store and getting some. Didn't think it would be included but there it was.

This is a great cello. Absolutely gorgeous in person with a sound that matches the look. A very warm tone that carries nicely. I havn't found a note that this cello doesn't like. Both cases are really nice. The hard case is sturdy, but doesn't weight a ton and the soft case is padded with a good sized music pocket and back pack straps. Much better that I was expecting! Thank you Overstock.com.
