What to look for when buying cello?
Playing the cello is an expensive hobby. They have different prices, so how can you be sure you make a good purchase? Buying a cello can be an intimidating process if you're new. Here are some tips to help you make the right decision.
1. Budget
Having a specific budget to start with is essential when purchasing a musical instrument. Cheap cellos can be enough for those who want to try it out but not sure if they will keep doing it. Please note that even a cello for a beginner will cost around 1,000 euros. Toy cellos cost about half, but you get what you pay for: cheap materials, poor workmanship and bad tuning hooks. Average priced cellos are for those who want to learn to play seriously, while the more expensive, advanced models are experienced players, performers, and professionals.
