Truly an amazing product, I simply cannot thank Glarry Music enough! My review has come a tad bit late but after nearly two months playing my cello I can honestly say it was very much worth it.

Arrived in great condition! Cello is exactly as described. Some of the reviews I've read prior to purchasing said it doesn't stay in tune. I only partially agree with that. At first it was hard to keep in tune, but as I played it more and the strings settled in, it's proven to stay in tune just fine. Love the quality, and especially for the cost. Very pleased.

The product matched its description. The shipment was quick. It's of good quality and very affordable. My daughter is learning to use it at school as she is part of the orchestra, which is a great beginning.

Really impressed by this cello. Absolutely great price for an entry level instrument. You can learn cello basics without breaking the bank. I am an experienced musician (35 years, with 30 on guitar) and an amateur luthier. I've also wanted to lean the cello but could never rationalize the purchase price until I found Glarry Music. This is certainly an entry level instrument, as I look back at my very first electric guitar. There were no defects due to shipping but I did find the tailpiece had an ...

This full-size acoustic black cello was a birthday present to my best friend who turned 30 on his birthday and he has been wanting a cello for as long as I have known him. When he opened the case and saw the cello, he was speechless and for him, that was a FIRST. The cello is magnificent in its style and appearance. The quality is above reproach and has made both my friend and me very happy with the cello. Thank you for producing such an outstanding musical instrument.

We are not familiar with what top-line instruments are like, so keep that in mind when I review what we got: This cello is fantastic. As the picture shows, I chose the white model, which she enjoys. The cello shipped in a box with the correct upright direction clearly indicated; there was plenty of protection for the instrument, and it was shipped inside the soft case.

It is affordable enough that there need not be the expectation that she will one day be an expert at the instrument; something that she enjoys is enough. This may not be as good as more expensive cellos, but for someone who had nothing and no expectations, it is wonderful.

This is my first cello. The sound is great, it looks great and it is a great cello. I recemend this for your first cello. It is a must buy.

The strings it comes with aren't great. Drop D'Addario Prelude strings on it and this cello sounds simply amazing. Tuning pegs hold tune, and don't slip. It's a solid cello for a student at an excellent price and it has a sound if you drop great strings on it. If you need a starter cello for a student - you cannot go wrong with this one.

I'm new to cello and purchased this GC101 to start my lessons. I'm extremely impressed with the quality of the instrument for the price. The sound quality in simple AMAZING! Prior to it arriving I was worried about the sound quality but have been impressed beyond belief. I showed up for my first lesson and my instructor commented on how unusual it is to have beginner instruments sound this good. The craftsmanship is also pretty good for the price point. It's not the highest quality but that's to ...

Overall, this is a great student cello.

Good price for a student cello. Be prepared to replace the strings, bridge and pegs. Tuning pegs are made with a very soft wood that cracked during any turning. Strings popped pretty immediately on tuning. Overall needs some upgrades to make it playable. Emailed the service email box that was listed on the email to request new pegs, and the email box isn't legitimate and returns "undeliverable"

This is the lowest price for this brand. But it's really good in quality and sound. I replaced the bow with a higher quality bow as well as the strings, as the bow and strings that came with it were not very good. I also took it to a shop to have the bridge carved to its proper fitting. Doing these simple things will make a big difference and my instructor noticed the difference and asked me what I had done before I told her. I will be looking to upgrade to a better cello in about two years.

Cellos are not cheap! But this is a very good price compared to ~$600-$700 starter student cello at the music store which sounds and looks similar as this one. Love it!

I played violin as a kid and have always wanted to learn cello, but was reluctant to shell out $60/ mo to rent one. I was thrilled to find cheap ones. Beautiful, work fine, nice sound. All in good.

I finally get the chance to learn cello on a budget!

I am pleasantly surprised. No apparent manufacturing defects, everything was included, and the bridge was simple enough for someone with no experience to set up.

Bought for grand daughter - she loves it

on January 06, 2024

My only complaint is that it can't hold a string in tune, but I'm hoping that will get better as I break in the instrument. The case is functional. The bow is certainly not craftsmanship perfection, but it does its job. The rosin is also really not good but again, it's usable. Nothing unexpected there with the quality of the accessories. I'll see how they hold out before replacing them. All in all, worth the money.

I highly recommend purchasing one of these lovely cellos and this price. I'm very excited to play and start learning my cello once mine is being bridged and tuned and the shop I soon to be picking up soon. Good luck on your guys. Cheers.
