Excellent for students and starters
Pascal P 04.02.2020
I purchased this instrument to start taking Cello lessons. The cello has a very fair and good sound for its price and for this purpose. Wood, finishings, and overall instrument quality is also nice and pleasant. Even my teacher was impressed by the instrument's sound and quality, compared to its price.

Few things to note, in the first months, the tuning pegs had a tendency to lose their setup every time the instrument was left unused for 1-2 days, but by the time they started retaining the last tuning.

In overall, it is an excellent choice for a starter, and after 1-2 years you can change the factory strings and bow with better accessories and go to the next level.

Cello for music video
MudiDabi 12.04.2018
I bought this cheap basic cello for our music video only. It looks good for my purpose and it doesn?t sound bad with good strings. I appreciate good adjustement by Thomann team, I have good feeling when I play it. And thanks for very fast delivery. It is amazing to have cello with bow and cover for this money.

Does not disappoint beginners
DeleteFacebook 15.03.2024
I'm starting to play the Cello so I have zero to none reference of what makes a good Cello. Based on other reviews, I was expecting this Cello to look and sound cheap and poor, but to my surprise it is very good looking, and the sound is authentic and to my beginner ears, as good as my skill can make it to be. If you're a newbie like me, don't think twice and just buy it. The quality is good enough for the uneducated ear and you get to start practicing without overthinking the process of selecting a Cello.

Good looking, but weakly build
JSDe 27.09.2020
CONTEXT:
To be 100% transparent, the first one I received via UPS was broken: the neck was detached from the body. So I ordered a second one. Great customer service by Thomann, as always.

The second one, now: good news, the neck was attached to the body. The setting was pretty good; playable from the get-go without a professional setting by a luthier.

PERSONAL USE:
Beginner cellist, experienced musician.

SOUND : the strings are terrible. Which is understandable for a 400€ cello (a good set of strings being worth 150€ at least). After I changed the strings, it sounds better. Almost good. My cello teacher said "it would do". The sound is weak; it clearly doesn't project like a good cello does.
After comparison with a much better cello I play with now, it is a strange conundrum ; because this cello is relatively quiet and not so responsive, you can get away with technical imperfections et little errors that would sound horrific on a better instrument. Your intonation is what it is, no miracle here, but you can get by with sloppy bowing, because those squeaks and squeals are much softer. It's a more forgiving instrument for beginners. You can't sound really good with it, but you also don't sound terrible. Which can be a plus.
So pros and cons here. Really lacks power, but it is steady in its sound.
On that level, great value for the price.

LOOK :
It looks beautiful. Honestly, the finish is, if simple, elegant.

BUILD :
It is made of plywood, Which is not ideal... But, surprisingly, it holds tuning really well, and the set-up hasn't moved since I got it. And I move it around all the time.

CONCLUSION:
A good beginners' instrument. You will definitively need a upgrade after some time, but it is a okay starting point.
I personnally use it as a "travel cello" ; I am not afraid of it being dommaged or stolen or lost. But I would never play it for any formal occasion (concert or recital or audition or whatever).
