When I received this cello, I took it to a luthier to upgrade 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.
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. so as you can see, I would need a luthier nearby hopefully to make this instrument playable, and iwant to locate a luthier before I commit to purchasing this cello...any advice would be welcomed, Thankyou. | |||
