Question:
What should I look for when buying a cello?
Im buying my dad a new cello for his birthday and would really like to suprise him with it. He's 6 foot 5 and I have no idea what to look for when I go out and get it.
Answers:
First off, a cello is very expensive (I play one myself) so try going to a few stores and compare prices. Take advantage of the summer clearances or sales. Along with the cello, you need to buy a good bow and nice rosin. If your dad is that tall, ask for a full size cello.
Also. go to some symphonies and ask the cellist, I'm sure that they can help you.
Another thought, if you father's birthday is a long way off, you can probably order it online.
