I was very pleasantly surprised. We can't expect the ultimate cello for such a low price. Cellos cost thousands of dollars. Still, this cello is strikingly beautiful. Purchasers should expect to have to get the instrument set up - adjusting bridge height and nut slot height optimally. This is normal for any new instrument. After that, this cello is amazing. I bought this as a backup, and it is better sounding than my primary cello. I'll be selling my primary cello now. I couldn't be hap ...

The violin sounds okay, but the wood of the tailpiece is literally just painted wood, not even ebony, why lie to customers about that, I expected a good, affordable, quality violin man.

I was a bit worried it was going to come broken or missing a piece, however it came in perfect condition! The bow had a couple horse hair that needed to be cut but that's not an issue. It took a REALLY LONG TIME just to get my rosin to stick onto the horse hair but after finally successfully doing so, I saw on the instruction that it's best to make a couple cut into the rosin -whoops! I was also scared and worried about how to add the bridge and tube the viola but it was actually very easy to do ...

My wife wants to learn the cello so we started shopping around. Oddly enough my good friend owns a music store and while talking about it he mentioned Glarry because he doesnt sell cello's.We didn't want to spend thousands to get started.Anyhow, I was skeptical but my friend assured me it was decent stuff.We are completely impressed with the cello.And free shipping was the icing on the cake.Really it's an unbeatable value to get started playing.

Very beautiful cello. I had the bridge carved and adjusted at a local music store and I also purchased different strings that were of better quality. It has a great sound that resonates very well.

Beautiful in looks and sound! I have never set up or played a new cello and haven't played in 49 years. The setup was quick and easy and it takes a few days for the instrument and strings ti adjust and stretch. Fantastic experience!!

At first I did not have much hope when buying such a cheap violin since I have been playing the piano for 4 years and I know the importance of having a quality instrument but in the end it exceeded all my expectations. It only took about 15 minutes to have the violin completely ready to play. I started playing and I started taking classes with a teacher and I haven't had any problems and also if you know how to tune it well you will stay in tune all week

Got this cello for my wife for Christmas, and she loves it. It sounds good for a starter cello, and looks good as well. Black Friday deal and we received incredible value for our money. I had a local shop set it up properly for $40. Very happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend as a starter cello.

While my granddaughter's cello was on back order and wasn't received in time for Christmas, Glarry stayed in constant contact with me to follow up on my order. When we received it, it was worth the wait! Starting with the beautiful case we were amazed at the quality for such a reasonable price. I would definitely order from Glarry again.

I am giving this 5 stars because for a starter cello it is better than I expected it to be. The strings it came with are not high quality by any means but they are good even to start with. It took about 5 days for the strings to stretch and the whole instrument to settle so it would stay in tune. I used peg dope on the pegs and oiled the fine tuners like I would do to the violins. It stays in tune and sounds decent for a cheap instrument. I ordered a better bow before I even received the cello s ...

I bought this violin for my son for Christmas. It was very easy to get setup and actually produced a great sound without too much trouble. It is a great choice for a beginner for the price. I was pleased with the quality of the product and the shipping was very fast which was also very good. I will be buying more products from Glarry Music!

Doesn't seem to keep a tune. We tune it, and then check it, and it's out of tune from when we started, so we tune it again and again. Usually takes 3-4 times to get it to hold. But by the next time my daughter plays it's out of tune again. The peg screws at the neck don't have any thread, they wedge into the holes but they come loose. The music store violin we rent doesn't lose tune anywhere near as often. This was purchased to practice at home. More frustrating than anything.

P.S. Update edit. Glarry refunded me $15 for my troubles which is fine I guess. But after another session trying to tune this violin my anger issues cannot. I've cut my losses and thrown this thing out. It's done and over. I apologized to my daughter, and we're moving on. She'll just stick with the rental. I googled youtube videos and tried a few different tricks. The included tuner doesn't even show the correct notes half the time, and using a downloaded app for my phone provided some consisten ...

So, first and foremost, for a beginner violin, it appears to be of a decent quality for the price. The shipping was very fast as well. This violin is for a student learning to play so this is just ideal. There is one downside to this violin as I recent discovered. This violin only has 1 fine tuner. Attempting to tune this violin with the tuning pegs WILL result in broken strings. I suggest to anyone considering this as a beginner violin to invest the $15 in a set of matching fine tuners to preve ...

Very dissapointed. Ordered violin for my Grandaughter as a Christmas present. Was about to wrap it up, and decided to open it before I wrapped it. The violin does not have a bridge and it's not strung up.how do I give her this as a present?!

Update...violin had the bridge afterall. Didn't realize that the bridge was wrapped in paper under the tail piece. One of the strings easily popped after trying to tune the instrument. Will need new quality strings for this violin.

It has been a pleasure ordering from Glarry. I ordered a violin for the grandchild. Two days later I placed a 2nd order for the same violin. Glarry contacted me because they were concerned that it was a duplicate order. I was impressed. I assured them that I placed a second order for the second child. There are few companies that are that conscientious. When the violins arrived within a few days ,again, I was impressed. The violins were beautiful. Just as they described on their website. I ...
