4.0 out of 5 stars Sounds good if serviced by a luthier, March 2, 2007

By	Angel Ramirez - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Out of the box this cellow was unpleasant sounding. Took it to a luthier, he did the following:
1- Shaved the knot
2- Adjusted sound post
3- Moved the tail piece 1" down and removed 3 fine tuners (C, G, and D)
4- Replaced the strings with Helicores
The results were amazing. It sounds good now. It is mellow with a hint of spark. It cost about $110 extra and it was all worth it. The final cost was around $560 which is a good price considering the nice bow, stand, and the extra hard case.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good price, needs some work though, May 6, 2007

By	Anne-marine Feat "Anne-Marine" (Iowa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I recieved this cello, it didn't sound good at all (the strings especially sounded like an harp or something). I took it to a luthier who changed the strings, adjusted the sound post and the neck and now it has a nice deep sound. And with the bow and the case, I think it's a great bargain for people starting to play.
