  • How much does a beginner cello cost?

    A beginner cello costs around $500 in a cello shop. These are factory made, with fast turn over. As the price is rather affordable, the quality of the wood used to craft the cello may not be to ideal standard. Also the fittings of this range of cello are lower grade, hence you may experience issues such as tuning pegs not fitted well into the peg box, cello bridge not properly cut to the right height and curvature, cello strings which sound metallic and feels harsh on the fingers. As such you may wish to start off with beginner level handcrafted cello, price range around $1000+.
