Mendini By Cecilio Cello - Musical Instrument For Kids & Adults - Cellos Kit w/Bow, Stand, Bag - Stringed Music Instruments For Students (Full Size, Natural)

There is a need for a response to this product. An 1894 3/4 cello made for women has been passed down to me. There are some issues with it, so I replaced it with a full-sized The cello purchased with this purchase is the size you select. Cellos like this are commonly considered to be very good student instruments by my music teacher. Unlike the bow that comes with it, I haven't tried out the bow that comes with it because the bow I purchased was for $250, which is close to the price Despite its rich sound, the voice of this cello is This piece of art is stunning and absolutely worth any price you pay. I am happy to answer any questions you might have.

I will not be of any use to you in my field. It is not a good instrument to buy. The piece of garbage is worthless. Although I only ordered one, I made the mistake of ordering all A 5 out of 5 I did not receive a tuned instrument when I received it. I took it to a music store that specializes in string instruments after I tried it myself. I was told to send it back. As I sit here wondering what the commotion is about, I thought, "Oh, I have a lemon. ". They sent me another one after I returned the first. The third one worked a little better in that I could tune three of the four strings, but the A string only tuned to A2 but It would jump up to B3 if I turned it a 1/256th of a turn. Unless it is clearly in the public interest, it is unethical to sell it. It may take two UPS trips for me to get it back after I spend a lot of time tuning it, taking it to a music store, and taking it to a music The fact that Amazon would sell a product such as this that simply does not work as described is disheartening. This is a bad investment. DO NOT purchase. I will not be of any use to you in my field.

To begin this review, let me tell you a bit about myself. In addition to my design background, I also have formal training in machining. I have also played drums, guitar, piano, and had always wanted to play the keyboard. I also serviced my own instruments, for example, repairing all of the bridges and frets on both my electric and acoustic guitars. Here is what you need to know about the CCO- This cello is 100 years old. It was important for me to find a cello that was of decent quality at a reasonable price. As a youngster, I always wanted to play the cello, but did not want to spend a lot.
(That's why I own a Martin acoustic guitar. ) I'm aware that acoustic instruments can often offer rich sound, but that cost often comes with it. I am pleased to report that the cello arrived on time and in excellent The soft case was tightly packed inside a box with a lot of padding made of cardboard. It turned out that the bridge was not attached to the body, and the sound post was rolling around inside of it. So the cello is not damaged during shipping, this is how it gets shipped. When I was waiting for the cello to arrive, I took some time to research how to set up the instrument and found several tutorials on how to set up the bridge and the sound post. Once it arrived, I set it up immediately. To retrieve the sound post, I first constructed some tooling and set it in accordance with the instructions in the video. Unlike most people, I had no trouble with this After that, the cello was tuned and the bridge was set up. My time to complete this project was about 2 hours. About 10 minutes of rosining was spent on the new bow. When I first tried to pull a sound, it was a success! That was a really (After playing for a few days I noticed that the bridge may be able to be improved To improve the bow angles and reduce the action of strings, it is shaped. In order to reduce the bridge height, I marked how low I wanted to go, removed the bridge, and re-installed it The top of the bridge was carved. As a result of After installing the bridge, the bow angles were improved and the action of the boat was improved. The strings were changed out as well, and the D'Adario Prelude strings were installed. Especially for the strings in D and A, this improved the sound a bit. Warmer in tone than the ones that come with a cello, these strings improve the instrument's overall sound. As well as describing how it is made, I'd like to describe what goes into making the cello. Rather than hand carving each panel out of a solid block of wood (plywood), all panels are made from laminated sheets of wood (plywood). Those are the words they use when they say "crack proof top". This cello is an excellent buy for me, since, even though it is a plywood cello, it still has a decent tone.

In conclusion, if you are someone like me, this cello would be a great Even though I had to do some setup before I could begin playing it, half of the fun was in the setting up. In case you feel uncomfortable doing some DIY work, you may still be able to buy this cello at a good price if you have a local music store which can do it for you. Buying a cello that you can take home and play right away might be easier than buying one off the rack at a music store that is already set up if you are trying to play it right away. My sincere hope is that this review will help, and all the best in your cello playing.

The Cello has always been a part of my dream to be able to perform in an orchestra or in a concert, regardless of my plans in life. It's an easy cello to play, makes a nice loud sound, and is easy to make noise with. There is no deep, rich tone like a higher quality cello would have, but it is also not priced like a higher quality cello (it's I recommend this cello if you want something to play around with at home or if you don't want to spend the money on buying or renting one. My orchestra teacher says if they stick with it they'll want a better one after about a year. This cello is something I'd love to own. The piano is perfect for me to play around on at home and possibly join my daughter's orchestra lessons from time to time. The only reason I gave it three stars is that it is a student model, and I wanted anyone reading this to know that while it is very good for a first cello, it will need to be replaced with a better quality model after about a year or two.

Our research of the full sized Cecilio CCO-80 took months, and we ignored numerous negative reviews before we bought it Our granddaughter intends to continue performing in her junior high school orchestra in the upcoming school year, so I purchased a 100 Student cello for her. The year is. In a large heavy-walled cardboard box, the cello arrived a few days ago well protected. Our examination of the cello revealed it to be in pristine condition after it was unsealed and unpacked. It struck me as remarkable, nevertheless, that the strings were slack yet the sound was still there This post has been placed in the correct location. Because of its light orange and cinnamon colors, this instrument is an impressive sight to behold This varnish is brown in color. The sound of the cello has been very pleasing to us since we adjusted the bridge and tuned it. Due to the strings stretching, the cello has kept its pitch relatively well since it was tuned a few days ago. However, it has flattened over time as a result of tuning. We don't expect to break any strings in the future since there haven't been any breaks so far. Possibly the only complaint we would have is that the bridge is a bit (1/16th of an inch) too high now, but that we will adjust it if necessary in the future. There is a bow, a stand, and a I'm pleased with the quality of the bags. Our overall experience with this instrument is very, very positive.
