I found out that I was getting a cello for Christmas and immediately began looking for reading material about care and maintenance tips when I found this book. The book is short, but packed with great information for someone not used to taking care of such a large, fragile object and how to keep it in top condition. There is also helpful information on what to look for in purchasing a new or used cello, as well as a general history. In all, I feel more prepared for when I take the cello out of the case for the first time, and what to look for when and if problems arise.

This book is great because it is correlated with a web site - Everytime they give you a new tip there is a video that goes with it, so if you don't really quite understand what they're saying, you can figure it out by watching. I just started playing cello and it's helped a lot, i think it's probably better for adults than children.

A really excellent resource - especially for the beginner, but also a handy reference quide. I wish this tipbook series were available for ALL the instruments that I play.

It's a good book. The amount of information is amazing.Recommend it for anyone just starting or in the market for a cello.
