Let me start off by saying that I have absolutely no experience playing cello, so I don't have a lot of knowledge of the instrument to compare it to. PROS: That being said, I think this is an amazing cello for the price. Considering that most "beginner" cellos in a music store start out around $1,000, finding a cello that sounds good at all for $200 is great. It did make a weird squeaky sound when I played the G string while holding down on the fret, but I started making sure I kept the rosin residue wiped off the string, switched to Jade L'Opera JADE Rosin for Violin, Viola, and Cello rather than the rosin that came with it, and started using the bow like I was taught in Cello Playing for Music Lovers: A Self-Teaching Method, and it disappeared. I believe a good set of strings would also make a huge difference in the sound (I know they do on my bass guitar; the difference between cheap strings and a good set is almost incomparable), but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I did over tune the A string (thinnest) when I was first getting it in tune, and it broke, so it's a good thing they've included an extra set (in case you missed it like I did, the cello comes with a set of strings on it, and they give you an EXTRA set). I was a bit worried about the shipping when I ordered, since musical instruments are so delicate. When the box arrived, it had numerous gouges in it, so I was even more nervous (the gouges weren't the seller's fault, of course). However, it was packaged well enough that the cello itself was completely fine. CONS: They give you absolutely no instructions of any kind how to set this thing up. If I didn't already have a basic knowledge due to owning a violin, it would have been even harder; as it was, I simply googled "how to set up a new cello" and found numerous helpful pages. The cello comes with the bridge uninstalled, the strings completely loose, and no rosin whatsoever on the bow. It's really not too hard to set up, there are just a couple things you have to be aware of, which I'll mention at the end. Keep in mind that this is, after all, only a $200 cello, so don't expect miracles. Yes, it's a fantastic instrument for the price, but they can only do so much with a $200 price. If you think you're (or your child) are going to seriously get into playing the cello, I would recommend renting one from a music store, or buying a more expensive one. It can be frustrating to learn on a cheap instrument, since if it doesn't sound good you can't be sure if it's just you or your instrument. I personally only bought this to mess around on and because I want to have a lot of musical instruments around as my kids are growing up so they can pick one. HOW TO SET YOUR INSTRUMENT UP: When you first get it, take EVERYTHING out of the box and lay it in front of you. Put the box somewhere else so you have plenty of room to work without banging your cello into the box. Take the styrofoam out from under the neck and untie the strings. Step one is to put rosin on the bow. Tighten the nut at the end of the bow (righty tighty) so that the hair of the bow is tight, but not too tight. The hairs shouldn't be able to touch the back of the bow when you apply light pressure, but the bow should still have a bend in the wood part. Rough up the rosin with some sandpaper so it will stick to the bow, then rub it along the bow a LOT. It will take quite a while to get enough rosin on it, but this is a key step. You'll know you have enough when you flick your thumbnail along the underside of the hair and a small cloud of rosin puffs out. It took about 20 minutes for me to get enough on. Your second step will be to set up the bridge. Notice that one side of the bridge is higher than the other; this side will go under the thicker string, while the lower will go under the thinner. The bridge should be placed between the notches in the middle of the "f holes" (the holes in either side that look like an italic "f." Slide it under the strings while it's laid down, then slowly stand it up while making sure the strings are in the correct notches on the bridge. Step three is to tune your cello. I used an app I bought on my iPhone, you can use whatever tuner you want. Slowly tighten all the strings; don't try to completely tune one, then the next one, etc. Tighten the first one a bit, then move to the next one, then when you reach the last one go back to the first and tighten that one some more; rinse and repeat until they are in tune. That's about it!! That's a very quick set-up guide, I recommend googling a more exhaustive guide.

This is a review of the CCO-600 I received but as I received both the CCO-500 (returned) and CCO-600 I will include information comparing the two, as I found comparisons hard to find when I was looking at reviews for these instruments. We are retired and purchased the Cecilio CCO-600 for my wife, who is just beginning to learn to play the cello. It is a beautiful looking and beautiful sounding instrument. We originally purchased a CCO-500 which had some non-shipping related damage and, after speaking to KKMusic (who offered to replace the 500 with another), decided to purchase the 600. The 500 was beautiful also and great sounding to our ears but the 600 had a fuller sound with more projection - I could feel the C string's vibration in my body from a short distance away. Customer service at KKMusic was responsive and friendly. I had a cello teacher look at and play both the 500 and 600. While he was impressed with CCO-500 for the price and thought it beautifully made he said the CCO-600 was much better, calling the 500 a "student cello" in comparison. The 500 had a shiny heavy finish which looks pretty and the wood used for the top, sides, and the bottom is lovely. The "flaming" is painted with tea stain, unlike the real flaming on the 600, but well done. The tone of the cello was resonant and deep. The wood used in the 600 was obviously hand-picked, with the spruce top having close grains in the center and widening towards the sides. The maple sides and backs are gorgeous with their flaming (real flaming where you can observe the shift from dark to light to dark when you move the instrument in the light) and the oil finish does nothing to obscure the beauty of the instrument. On both cellos, there were minor imperfections due to the hand carving and perhaps handling after the cello was made - the 600 has a sliver of one of the corners of the bout that has been glued back on, but you have to look close to discover it. The 500 did have a serious 3 1/2" deep scratch along with the bridge being cut a bit too short, which is why we returned it. As mentioned in the item listing both cellos had the bridge down and tied with a ribbon to the neck. I found them easy to install after watching a video by Linda West (https://www.lindawest.com/setting-up-a-bridge-on-a-cello-a/108.htm) - there is both a video and step-by-step pictures and descriptions on the page. Both cello's sounding peg was upright and in place. Both cellos, one shipped by USPS and one by UPS, arrived without undue damage to the boxes or contents. There seems to be some inconsistency in the packing process: The CCO-500 barely had any packing material, just some wadded up heavy plastic and nothing else. There was no additional protection in the hard (cardboard?) case with the cello and the bow was in one of the bow holders in the case. The CCO-600 had the box lined with 1/2" thick pieces of styrofoam, then a combination of bubble wrap and air pillows. The fiberglass case itself was encased in a sleeve and inside the case was more bubble wrap protecting the cello. The cello bow was separately wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in the box outside of the case. We did spend $20 at a music store to have the footing of the bridge for the 600 sanded and fitted properly as it did not fit completely flat to the body of the cello. For $20 I figured it was worth having a professional do the job. The 500's bridge footing fitted perfectly once I set it up. I suspect the 600 might not have gone through a complete set-up process in Cecilio's California site before being sent out. The nuts holding the fine tuners to the bridge were loose and the cello's strings looked to be put in haphazardly; I need to unwind and rewind so they didn't cross themselves in the pegbox. The 500's strings were wound perfectly and the fine tuner was tightly affixed to the tailpiece. These items weren't a problem and easily remedied. I would recommend purchasing the cello through Amazon, as you won't be charged anything if returning the instrument (at least through Prime). KKMusic on their site states there is a $69 charge for cello returns, plus the customer handles return postage. The KKMusic site does offer a couple of other knick-knacks for the same price. You might want to check out both sites as I see the price of CCO-600 on Amazon is now $999.99 and on KKMusic is $899.99 - the price I paid on Amazon a few days ago. The fiberglass (or ABS) case that came with my 600 included a built-in handle on the head of the case for hauling around if you're dragging the case using the wheels. I noticed this handle in the Cecilio video but not on the pictures here at Amazon or at KKMusic. The case is fairly heavy, somewhat a chore for my 5' 3" wife to haul in and out of the car. The hard case for the 500 feels like heavy cardboard covered in simulated leather vinyl with a plush red interior. The interior material seems to be the same with both the 600 and 500 hard cases. When talking with Customer Service at KKMusic (which is the distribution arm of Cecilio - same physical address in California) the rep told me, after checking with someone else, the wood used in the Cecilio cellos was aged from 3 to 5 years. The 600 description states the wood is aged at least 7 years, so her information may have been for the models under the 600. There wasn't anyone that could give me a definitive answer even though I ended speaking to a supervisor for 20 minutes - she offered to contact the people that would know, but that would still just be someone's word. The 600 certainly uses a better grade of wood all around, but of course, there is no way to tell actual aging of wood used in any instrument. We are very pleased with the fit and finish of the 600 we received - I went over the instrument inch-by-inch, using a magnifying glass at times. I think a begining student would be happy with either cello. I went with the step-up so we wouldn't be looking for something better in a few years.
