I was very pleasantly surprised. We can't expect the ultimate cello for such a low price. Cellos cost thousands of dollars. Still, this cello is strikingly beautiful. Purchasers should expect to have to get the instrument set up - adjusting bridge height and nut slot height optimally. This is normal for any new instrument. After that, this cello is amazing. I bought this as a backup, and it is better sounding than my primary cello. I'll be selling my primary cello now. I couldn't be hap ...I was very pleasantly surprised.

The folks at Glarry were very responsive, and the instrument shipped immediately and arrived very quickly. The finish on it, especially at this price, is astounding. This is a great alternative to immediately spending thousands of dollars for a new student. This even beats rental prices. Fantastic value.
The violin sounds okay, but the wood of the tailpiece is literally just painted wood, not even ebony, why lie to customers about that, I expected a good, affordable, quality violin man.
I make violin art for the NYC Met Opera, Paris opera Garnier ,Nyc ballet, american ballet theatre, nyc philharmonic, jazz at lincoln center, san francisco jazz center ,Philadelphia Opera, museo de arte de Puerto Rico, Reginal f. Lewis museum and the Berlin opera academy.
I was a bit worried it was going to come broken or missing a piece, however it came in perfect condition! The bow had a couple horse hair that needed to be cut but that's not an issue. It took a REALLY LONG TIME just to get my rosin to stick onto the horse hair but after finally successfully doing so, I saw on the instruction that it's best to make a couple cut into the rosin -whoops! I was also scared and worried about how to add the bridge and tube the viola but it was actually very easy to do ...I was a bit worried it was going to come broken or missing a piece, however it came in perfect condition!

I was also scared and worried about how to add the bridge and tube the viola but it was actually very easy to do with the instruction. I also looked on YouTube just for confirmation. Overall, the viola sounds lovely and everything is as it should be. I would 100% recommend this site to anyone who's interested and is confident that they will like what they get and even beginners will have no trouble setting it up. (I'm a beginner)
Good value for the price. The tone is clear, especially through an amp. One suggestion: the included rosin could be higher quality, but overall, a fantastic starter electric cello.
My wife wants to learn the cello so we started shopping around. Oddly enough my good friend owns a music store and while talking about it he mentioned Glarry because he doesnt sell cello's.We didn't want to spend thousands to get started.Anyhow, I was skeptical but my friend assured me it was decent stuff.We are completely impressed with the cello.And free shipping was the icing on the cake.Really it's an unbeatable value to get started playing.
The setup was easy and the sound is clean. Very good for practice and learning.
If you are a music lover, you should like and protect your instrument. Violin strings are very important, and the violin can't play wonderful music without the strings.
Good strings should have good sound quality, fast tuning, stable pitch, good playability (fingers feel safe, strings react quickly) and long life. The strings used by different instruments are different, and the material of the strings greatly affects the tone of the instrument. The tension of the string is necessary for the string. The tension level is generally divided into five levels: ultra-low, low, medium, high and ultra-high. The higher the tension, the thicker the string. The thicker the strings, the more mellow the sound.
When you are using an instrument, you first need to learn how to adjust the strings, followed by the installation of the code and the use of the bow, especially for beginners of a musical instrument.
