I bought this for one of my students who's just starting out. The sound is warm, and the spruce top looks beautiful in person. It needed some tuning out of the box, but once set up, it played well for the price.
Beautiful in looks and sound! I have never set up or played a new cello and haven't played in 49 years. The setup was quick and easy and it takes a few days for the instrument and strings ti adjust and stretch. Fantastic experience!!
Got this cello for my wife for Christmas, and she loves it. It sounds good for a starter cello, and looks good as well. Black Friday deal and we received incredible value for our money. I had a local shop set it up properly for $40. Very happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend as a starter cello.
While my granddaughter's cello was on back order and wasn't received in time for Christmas, Glarry stayed in constant contact with me to follow up on my order. When we received it, it was worth the wait! Starting with the beautiful case we were amazed at the quality for such a reasonable price. I would definitely order from Glarry again.
I am giving this 5 stars because for a starter cello it is better than I expected it to be. The strings it came with are not high quality by any means but they are good even to start with. It took about 5 days for the strings to stretch and the whole instrument to settle so it would stay in tune. I used peg dope on the pegs and oiled the fine tuners like I would do to the violins. It stays in tune and sounds decent for a cheap instrument.

It stays in tune and sounds decent for a cheap instrument. I ordered a better bow before I even received the cello since I had read so many reviews about cheap cellos coming with unusable bows. I was surprised when this arrived the the bow wasn't warped or twisted. The wooden bow it came with is usable. Not as well balanced as the carbon fiber bow I bought but still something you could start learning with. The bridge isn't perfect but it is pretty close to fitting the instrument. It would only need a small adjustment from a luthier. I am using it just how it is and don't have a huge complaints. The string height is correct. I was also happy with the shipping. I think it took about a week but I live in Maine and this shipped from California. There were a couple dings on the box but zero damage to the instrument. Not even a scratch. This is the cello I will suggest in the future to people that want something cheap to learn with.
I've been wanting to learn how to play the cello and finally decided to give it a shot with this student cello. I was nervous because this is my first time buying a musical instrument online. It arrived well packaged with not a scratch or ding. All this for a cello newbie and so far I'm off to a great start! The sound is lovely. All in all, I'm very pleased with my purchase!
Great for beginner and not so expensive if changes mind. I am actually learning to play (senior adult) and glad I could afford it. Something I've always wanted to learn and enjoying every minute!
