If you are looking for a cello that you can take home and play right away it might be a better option to spend more money to buy a cello off the rack at a local music store that is allready set up

Like many others I weighed my options when my 5th grader asked to play the cello

I think this is a great option that wasn't available to me when I started playing.

Again this is a great option for someone wanting to start cello but not wanting to spend a lot of cash

Renting one was my least favorite option
