Thomann Gothic Black Cello 4/4

I bought this for my partner.
She has previous experience playing a double bass when she was at school and can read sheet music. She has always wanted a Cello.
So far as a novice she is totally in love with it, especially it's looks. We have had a few issues tuning it but the internet has taught us well. As for sound quality, we are not experts but I can tell you it sounds great to us. I know that for a serious Cello player this would be an instrument you may advise people to avoid, but for a beginner I don't think you can go wrong with this instrument. For a long time now quality cheap modern electric/acoustic guitars have become easily available and affordable to novices and amateurs alike, this is the same thing but it's the Cello. You get everything you need to start you off including a very decent set of strings. The bow included may not be the best but it certainly plays a note well and is made to a high quality. The gig bag that is also included is of a high standard and I trust it to protect the cello as it should. There is even a small rosin block included along with a polishing kit.
If you are looking for a beginner 4/4 size Cello and don't want to break your bank account, my partner and I recommend this instrument.
All from a novice/amateur angle.
