Ratings & Reviews
Poor quality strings
We purchased this as the biggest purchase in our child's musical journey thus far, and had two strings fall apart in less than a year, which hasn't happened for us at any other time and was very disappointing. The Seattle repair shop couldn't figure out what the strings were, why they were falling apart, or determine their origin. With new strings, the cello is making beautiful music again.
I love this cello!!!
I use this cello for teaching, it's fun to play on and has a nice open tone on all strings. The Presto Audition bow I use with it when teaching more rambunctious students gives it a slightly tinny sound but with a pernambucco bow the sound is great. Has the feel of a quality cello. I have a Larsen A and D on mine.
