Where can i get a good cello for not a lot of money?(missouri)

Question

i need a cello because i have played for 4 years and i have worked really hard at it but where i live i cant find a place that sells them.. PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer 1

ok.

since you can't find a place,.

www.swstrings.com

www.shar.com

they start at 500..

i'd recommend  the klaus mueller etude.

or the franz hoffman....

that's better then ebay.

sw and shar aren't the best quality instruments, but you can be garunteed that you aren't gonna get a 100 dollar instrument that has "amazing quality". but had a broken neck.

congrats on staying with it for that long.

most people quit after a year.

Answer 2

Kansas City, St Louis, Springfield, and Columbia all have excellent music stores. Check them out.

Do not buy a cello that has any laminated or plywood parts. Get the advice of your teacher. Absolutely do not buy from ebay or mail order unless approve by your teacher.

You have chosen a beautiful instrument.

Answer 3

however, buying cellos or other big items on eBay, the shipping prices can get  really expensive and most of the cheap ones are sold from the same place. Try going to a nearby city and looking there.

Answer 4

eBay or other online bidding sites have alot of options for varied prices.  I got my clarinet off eBay for a good price and the clarinet was in good condition.
