Cellos for Beginning Students


What is the most important aspect of a beginner instrument? The simple answer is playability. Young people should not be discouraged by an instrument that is difficult or impossible to manage, or they are likely to lose interest and ultimately choose to quit. Teachers understand this all-too-well. They see instruments every day that are not adequate for the needs of the player. A teacher that is a friend of our shop, calls these things "instrument-shaped objects" because they are not truly musical instruments.

Yes, it is possible to find a cheaper so-called “Cello” on the internet, but not on our website. Our selection starts at a level that is the minimum acceptable quality according to the vast majority of teachers,. If you are serious about supporting a student's desire to succeed in music, DO NOT buy a cheap instrument off the internet. There, you just did all the research you need to do about how much to spend on a student Cello.
