Thomann Gothic Black Cello 4/4 4-stars Reviews

A solid instrument

For a beginner like myself, I found this product to be very satisfying.

Very good value for money

I'm learning to play the instrument. This is great if you are just starting out. If you feel fine tunners are hard just clean them and apply oil, they will get way better. After 6 months or 100 hours of practice my only complaint is that the original bow broke with 30 hours of use. But you will get better and buy better components over time anyway.

The instrument was baught for an absolut beginner in cello-playing with the pure intention of finding out whether the Cello is the right instrument which it did quite well.

Of course in this price level for a cello you cannot expect too much and have to live with a few drawbacks, such as a not so full, rather metalic sound and too lose pegs which tend to rewind while tuning. Also the bridge was cut with too little of a curve which made it hard not to hit other strings while playing - especially for a beginner.

But on the other hand it is a fully functional instrument that can show how to play the cello in general.
