Living from homes to apartments, neighbors to consider with the full bodied instruments. I had read a comment or two about how mad the customer was that had to install the bridge... OK.... Take one look at any stringed instrument and ask "would you ship it that way?" On that note, the strings came already set and pegged for any beginner to have little to no struggle with. Keep the tuners {the silver twirlies near the bridge} loose and not the pegs; you'll unravel a string and have to feed it through again. Go to youtube, tune a cello and tighten it up by turning tuners or pressing pegs. You'll have strings that possibly last a decade and a cello that stays most often in tune. Shorter, heavier, though a great bow to work the form and muscles of the hands and wrist [for beginners]. Your oily greasy fingers will tarnish and deplete the sound and ability of the bow. Here's a good way to avoid doing just that: If you have a moment of "Gee, I wonder if this is too tight" it probably is, so loosen it. I had auditioned for many spots and a lot of my practice was prohibited by apartment living. Impossible to play anything on a rented loud full body cello in an apartment."
"Quick delivery, wonderful packing."
"This is fairly well made, but with a cheap pickup system (no surprise), and it's quite heavy (surprise). This is the second instrument I've bought from this seller."
"NO MANUAL OR INSTRUCTIONS."
"Primarily a guitarist, but I played Cello in grade school and I got this mainly to mess around with. The strings are set fairly high off the fretboard and might take some work getting them to a comfortable level. Electronical components are very cheap, and when amplified, sounds completely dull and sterile, thinking of a very generic synth/saw pad."
"I pretty much agree with most of the other reviewers about this product."
"A carpenter at my church was excited about the cello and he wanted to see it, he examined it and said that the cello was maple which is strong wood so I was really well pleased with this cello."

"Beautiful instrument."
"I was absolutely worried about this but even though the box was destroyed the cello was in perfect condition, not a scratch."
"The person at the music store stated that Cecilio instruments can be a bit rough, and have issues, but that this cello appeared to be good."
"only the strings are very basic."
"IT EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS!"
"When I started my musical lessons the teacher didn't say I did it wrong and even said the strings weren't as bad as he thought they might be coming with the instrument."
"This item costs roughly the same as if I rented a Cello for him but I do not have to worry about any return penalties."
