HBCE 990AM Electric Cello : Excellent value for money eCello
6 years ago
Bought this to give cello a try without investing hugely and with a view to practicing quietly. The HB990 is a very impressive looking instrument. Lovely gloss amber finish. Strings set up to the correct height and aligned on the fingerboard properly. Good solid end pin (no rattles). Supplied bow seem fine for starting out. Gigbag is well made. Stock string are OK - I changed to Spirocore and that improved the sound and playability quite a bit. One word of warning - the holes in the tuning pegs are very small. I had to srill them out with a 2mm drill to thread the ends of the Spirocore strings through. Otherwise. A fine start instrument.
