I did have to remove the C and G fine-tuners, since not having them made the instrument sound full and vibrant

While tuning, I noted what others had run across with the fine-tuners.

The body of the cello is really super cheap-fakey looking pin-striping, the fine tuners might last a couple of turns- very lightweight

I absolutely loved this cello, the shipping was great, who ever is looking for a cheap beginners and intermediate

the shipping was super fast

The bag is pretty nice as gig bags go

There is a soft bag too!!

There's the hardcase and in the side the free stand and the cello bag

The package could be better, I'm playing unstop for a week, the sound is so soft (I don't like it

Such a cool package.

We order this cello for our son , cello come in good package,we received complete set as advertise, no damage

The good things: good finish (but darker than pictured), solid woods, well-shaped bridge (which still needed lowering and reshaping a bit), excellent pegs and

Finish is very good.

The stand works great but put padding where the cello back actually meets the stand or it WILL scuff up the cello

The included rosin isn't bad, but a good rosin will save you some time on both initial setup and on reapplication

The soft case is pretty decent quality, but if you're buying a 3/4 cello for an elementary to middle school child, do you really think anything less than a hard case is a good idea?Other things to consider: you want to get a 3" soft-bristle paint brush and some soft polishing cloths (all cotton) so you can clean the rosin off after play

Dimensionally, everything was fine and required no setup, so I added a Snark tuner, a mute, a rock stop and a carbon-fiber bow with better rosin, and it sounds great now

You'll also want to get a better rosin, like Jade L'Opera

Hadn't we been lucky, we could have ended with the next guy on the assembly line, and this one could have sounded awful or broken into pieces after a couple of months

So if one wanted really good sound, string would've needed to be replaced.

within a day or two I was making that beautifully sad sound I love.

Could use better strings, but the sound of the instrument is quite good for the money.

scratchy sound

After purchasing a new carbon fiber bow (around $80) and installing both good quality strings and a new custom fitted bridge (around $50), it started sounding really nice

The cello is poor quality, the bridge didn't even fit

but even for a beginner/student cello it is poor quality.

After strings replacement (~ $20) the quality was very good and comparable to other, higher level cellos

I so blessed to be able to experience this instrument at such an affordable price.

The price of the CCO-300 is simply hard to believe - almost too good to be true

I have gone to many music stores, and have checked displayed cellos whose prices are well over $1,000, and I can tell you that the sound of my Cecilio CCO-300 far exceeds that of the expensive cellos I have tried

Fast delivery and good price.

A better bow would really help you play

It was very tempting to purchase this cello outfit, as it comes with a nice shiny cello, a bow, a hard case, etc. at a low price

the hair on the bow is not adjustable we cannot play it without a proper bow

The bow came warped and it looks like a 3/4 now which it probably is, but the bow works

It's often a hit or miss with cheap industrial instruments like this one

Great playing instrument, but not great sounding, but decent.

I will never purchase an instrument or accessory from either of these companies, and I recommend that you avoid them as well.

The instrument came in perfect condition no cracks of any sort

From an amateur's perspective, this seems to be a fine instrument

I give their product five star since everything works perfectly

All in all reasonable product considering the relatively low price

I always give products the benefit of the doubt but this is was a really bad product

Clearly they do not stand behind their shoddy products

I always give products the benefit of the doubt but this is was a really bad product

I've given it one star because the hard case was decent.

The hard case had one loose neck tie down but other than that looks good

This one comes with a stand and a very nice hardshell case with wheels too.

Item came in and is missing everything but the cello the hard case and stand.

The hard case and the soft case that came with it were both good-enough quality.

Why this store, with 99% satisfaction, sends such a clearly defective item is incomprehensible

well, the first picture showed items you DON"T get

The previous three times, unfortunately I received all defective items

after i told them about the missing item, the picture online changed
