Once mastered, the cello is a truly beautiful instrument to play and listen to. But, like all instruments, players will have to spend a lot of time learning and practising with a good quality instrument before they get to that stage. If you are a beginner who is looking to play the cello, then you need a beginner instrument that will suit your needs as you learn.
We recommend:
Stentor Student I Cello
The Stentor Student I has been designed with beginners in mind. This cello has been built to produce an excellent responsive tone whilst still being available at an accessible price. It features a comfortable ebonised rosewood fingerboard and integral adjusters on the composite tailpiece for easy fine-tuning. Its body is made from solid panels of spruce and maple tone woods. It has been finished with decorative inlaid purfling around the outer edge, which not only looks attractive but it also helps to protect the body from minor cracks and bumps (which is great for the perhaps younger, clumsier players).
Most importantly, this cello comes with everything a beginner needs to get started with the cello, so you won’t need to hunt down each individual item. This outfit includes the cello, a padded nylon case, shoulder straps for easy transportation, a traditional brazilwood bow, and rosin.
This cello comes available in a full range of sizes, meaning that very young and older players can access a good quality beginner instrument. To find out what size cello you need, check out our cello size guide post or ask a music teacher for their recommendation. When ordered from us, we ensure that the instrument is fully set up and ready to play from delivery, meaning you can play the instrument straight out of the case.
