Having Fun When Buying A Cello
How to Buy a Cello
What are some of the factors to consider when you are buying a cello? Take note of other considerations before heading out to buy one, besides the age and experience of the user.
Age and height are the best determining factors for selecting the size of the cello to purchase. The cello comes in four sizes depending on the player's height or age, like the violin.
1/8 size: 4 to 6 years old
1/4 size is best for 5 to 7 years old children
1/2 size: 7 to 11 years old
3/4 size is suitable for 11 to 15 years old
4/4 size: 15 and above
One good tip to consider when buying your first cello is to bring along your teacher or a professional cellist. Ask him to play the instrument to determine sound quality.
The quality of the wood used for the cello is also important in selecting. Some of the best quality cello is constructed from spruce and maple. Typically cellos with spruce tops with maple sides and back produce the best sounds. However, be aware that wood quality affects the quality of sound. Wood from certain tree species found in certain areas of the world are sought for their sound qualities and are very expensive.
Young cello players or beginners may buy cellos made from laminated wood (layers of wood glued together) since they are still trying out the instrument or may need to purchase bigger cellos as lessons progress.
It would also be a good tip to remember to ask cello vendors if the cello’s top is made of maple as these are sometimes made from maple laminate. Tuning pegs made of ebony are the best quality but many players say that pegs made from rosewood are just as good. Before running off to the check out counter, check your cellos tuning pegs and slots as properly shaped as cellos with poorly shaped pegs and slots cannot stay in tune.
Look for cellos which have endpins (the thin post that rests on the floor and elevates the cello for playing) that can be adjusted and can easily be adjusted. Some cellos need separate endpins which can also be purchased individually.
A good way to determine a cello’s quality is to inspect the top and back. Great sounding cellos have hand carved tops and back. Machine produced cellos are alright but hand carved cellos produce better sound and last longer. Experts are fantastic people to bring along when buying cellos as they have the expertise to identify if the cello is hand-crafted.
The bow is another key piece you need to consider for a cello purchase. Bows with amazing quality affect sound. Take note that only some cello makers include high quality bows while the others do not. However, you can always pick another bow should you find your bow unsuitable.
Cost is another good deciding factor. Cheap cellos are suitable for young children and beginners as you will need to purchase new ones as the child gets older or as the player progresses in level. However, there are cellos available for rent, which is a good option to have as cellos are some of the more expensive musical instruments.
An expensive cello is a worthwhile investment for those serious about playing the cello.
For whatever reason or purpose, good luck in buying a cello!
