The all-in-one package for beginners

The Thomann Classic Cello Set is one of the most economical cello sets currently available on the market. The neck of the instrument is made of hard, durable maple wood and stained to retain the traditional cello appearance, while the body is made from laminated wood, the top from solid spruce, and the four tuning pegs from ebony. The cello comes with a set of Classic Medium strings made by Danish company Jargar, which are tonally flexible and thus provide a solid basis for whatever sound may be desired.

Hitting the right note

A correctly tuned instrument always hits the right note with musicians and audiences alike. To prevent tuning problems becoming a nuisance and ensure that the tuning process is as straightforward as possible, the tailpiece of the cello is equipped with four fine tuners. Although good playing form is still recommended, of course, a well-tuned instrument with optimum tuning stability can certainly play a decisive role in achieving the desired sound! The instrument’s tailpiece is made of a composite material consisting of carbon and plastic fibres, which not only makes it lighter but also more stable than wood. The cello also receives a basic setup at Thomann’s stringed instrument workshop prior to shipping.

Ticking all the boxes

The 4/4 (or "full-size") cello is generally recommended for users with an arm measurement of 60cm or longer (if in doubt, we advise arranging a personal assessment with an experienced cellist). Unfortunately, playing the cello involves more than just the instrument itself: A bow is often needed as well as rosin (bow resin), which enables the bow to “grip” the strings. Without grip, there would ultimately be no vibration, and, without vibration, there is no sound. All of these components are contained in the Thomann Classic Cello Set and are included in the scope of delivery. To avoid the need for multiple pairs of hands and thus make the cello easy to transport, the instrument and all accessories are neatly arranged in a carrying case (complete with sheet music compartment). This makes the set ideal for anyone starting out on their musical journey.

About Thomann string instruments

Thomann-brand instruments, which are exclusively built by renowned manufacturers, now constitute a large part of Thomann’s product range alongside numerous big-name brands. With unbeatable price-performance ratios, Thomann string instruments are the obvious first choice for students and beginners – and others too. The technical features and uncompromising sound quality they offer are usually reserved for much more expensive instruments found in the professional market segment.

Ideal for use at home or on the stage

Cellos have an extensive range, which enables them to play both melody and bass (and everything in between). This makes them extremely versatile instruments that can be used to equally impressive effect in a solo or trio arrangement, in chamber music or in orchestras, in a quiet room at home or on the stage, regardless of whether Classical, romantic, theatrical, Jazz, Baroque, or even Rock music (just think Apocalyptica!) is being performed. The possibilities are endless and influenced only by the limits of the musician – and discovering and exceeding these limits is presumably something that everyone is seeking to achieve. In any case, this instrument is sure to make the quest to find one's limits very enjoyable!

Great instrument.

Oscar2675 15.11.2014

I've played the violin for several years and got this cello mostly for my girlfriend.
It's a wonderful instrument, and as a pleasant surprise, I had no problems with the bridge.

It's obviously not a high end cello for professionals, but for a beginner it has all you need. Including the 4 fine-tuners, who have proven most useful.

Delivery took about 7 work days to Sweden, a little longer than smaller packages, but nothing i would like to complain about. The package was completely intact and of course so was the cello.

The only thing I can complain about is the case. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it, but it's a soft case. For beginners, i think a hard case is better, because they're not used to be as careful with the instrument as you might have to be.

Overall, I'm extremely happy with the purchase. I've purchased violins before from other stores and I have been very disappointed with them, so I was quite nervous about this. But thomann did a great job! I recommend it for any beginner and like me, composer who wants to explore a new instrument!

i thought the cello was very good value for the price. An excellent starter instrument which i bought for a present for my sister in law. I will probably buy one now for myself. That surely shows that I was satisfied with my purchase. Delivery was prompt. I played the cello for a few days before presenting it to my sister in law for her birthday. The bow took a bit of getting used to, but I have no complaints about it.

Great Cello

Anonymous 08.12.2016

I bought this cello a couple years back. Still in great shape. The sound for the price is excellent, that is of course if you like your cello to sound a bit on the darker side. I love it.

Out of the box it maybe lacks a bit of low end but this can be easily fixed by different strings or a different bridge.
On very cheap cellos you may often find the sound post (inside the cello) to be placed badly (too far to the back, side etc..) But this one had it at the perfect spot, no need for adjustments. And the fine tuners on the tailpiece are a lifesaver for beginners, without them its a pain to tune the strings.

The only drawbacks of this instrument is that i think the fingerboard is painted. After playing for some time my fingers turn a bit blackish.
And of course the bow. It's not bad but I really didn't like it. The response with the strings was too low.
I'd suggest investing in a better bow since the difference will be astronomical.

All in all it's a great cello.

I have just taken delivery of Cello set . It arrived to the UK in perfect condition, considering the price, it is excellent value for the money. It looks good on the stand. The tone is much better than expected. Thank you Thomann.
