Etude

collapse expand iconDescription

This laminated maple top cello is an excellent starter or step-up instrument for the advancing student. It is ruggedly constructed to endure the rigors of student treatment, but also beautiful enough to inspire pride of ownership with its warm brown finish. A solid maple neck with oiled finish is just one example of its excellent overall build quality.

It ships with good-quality steel core strings, and comes with a standard gig bag and a brazilwood French bow. Like all Bellafina instruments, it is set up in the USA to MENC specifications, which means as soon as it is tuned to pitch, your instrument will sound great and play beautifully.

    The bridge is not cut right. The D buzzes and the A isn't even playable. The fingerboard seems slightly wrapped as the buzzing is worse through the midsection where the fingerboard leaves the neck. Now I have to deal with the hassle of returning a cello.

  • Good Student Cello

    I purchased this for my son and it is a good basic student cello. The bow isn't great and the rosin that comes with it is terrible, but those are little things.

  • i would buy again .

    This is definitely a lower end instrument. It does not come ready to play out of the box. We had to take it to a local music shop to have it set up, sound post, bridge..... It cost about $60. I emailed and called customer service and they gave me a discount to cover the cost! The second or third time my daughter used her bow it snapped. Luckily we purchased the repair coverage. We got a replacement bow after a few weeks and it was the wrong size. 2 stings broke after a few weeks (the gentleman in the music shop had pointed out that they were 'unwinding' when he set it up). They did mail out 2 new strings. The customer service has been good, but every time something goes wrong it just takes time to get it sorted. In the long run, it will be less expensive than renting a cello for my beginner 4th grader taking lessons at school, but I wish we had spent a bit more and gotten a better instrument. She will outgrow it by next year and we will definitely look into a different brand and better quality instrument.
