How do you find the right cello size?
Finding the right cello for you or your child doesn't have to be tricky. Different sizes of cellos are available, matching the size of most potential players. Whether you're renting a cello or buying a new or used cello, make sure you're looking for one that's the right size for your shape. The size of the cello is the length of the back. Please note that different manufacturers make cello sizes at different lengths, but they fall within a few centimeters. If you fall between two different sizes, you'll probably be more comfortable with the smaller instrument. The best guideline is to visit a music store to try one out, but the following table should help you get within a good range.Â
