How to Choose Cello | Buying Cello Online VS in Music Shop

Are you shopping for a new instrument, but not sure what to look for when buying a cello? Did you find a good deal online and ready to buy a cheap shiny new cello? Do you know someone who is selling a used cello they kept in a basement for 10 years? Have you stopped at a music store and got scared of so many cellos to choose from and high prices?

This is a short video to guide you with some basic advices. It might be useful for all beginners, kids and adults, who needs to buy their own instrument. It is a part of my "Cello Course for Busy Beginners" - 7.5 hours of lessons, tutorials and play along videos for adult beginners who want to learn how to play cello without having time to commit to regular lessons with a private cello teacher. Check it out with a link below.

Choosing between buying cello online or at a music shop is more of a personal decision. There are pros and cons to both. Buying online can be cheaper, but it's important to be aware of all potential risks such as potential shipping damage and not being able to test the instrument before purchasing. When purchasing from a music store, you'll have the opportunity to try out several instruments and make sure it fits your needs. Additionally, you may also benefit from an in-store warranty and ongoing customer service depending on the store.
