Question from Mercedes A.
Hi, I wanted to know which specific fellow students should bring or if you provide a list of reputable places where I could get the cello I’ll need.
Answer from Miouly E P. Verified Student
Hi, I bought my first cello used on Offer up for $70, not exactly the most reputable place to get an instrument. For a good quality beginner cello, I would get an all solid woods (maple and spruce), ebony fingerboard, instrument from one of the Chinese factories, like SONG, that sell on eBay. The song is supposedly associated with Yo Yo Ma. That is where I purchased my second cello, which is a copy of a Stradivarius and cost me $439, including delivery. It has a really full rich sound.
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi there! You can rent or purchase a cello from a store called Strings and Other Things or a store called First Flight Music. Hope this helps!
