Very useful for beginners
Pastellarium 12.01.2021
I have some musical experience on electric guitar and bass and this is my first time to start to learn cello.

PROS:
* The finishes are good. Painting is beautiful
* The bow and pitch are of good quality.
* Microfiners do the job
* Tuning remains accurate after a couple of trials
* It is very practical to carry on with you. Assembly is very easy
* The amplification is really good, the bass is preserved in good tones.

CONS:
* The big problem with this Electric Cello are the knee pads. They are uncomfortable. If you are already used to the position on an acoustic cello, I do not recommend purchasing this one. It takes a little time and patience to get into a really comfortable playing position.
* The strings are of poor quality. Even so, they maintain correct tuning
* The cello I have arrived with a slight scratch on the upper part of the body, next to the neck. Even so, it does not affect its operation.

In conclusion, it is a good instrument for what you pay. If you really want to sound like a pro, I don't recommend getting this one. It is rather to practice without disturbing your neighbors and small concerts.

U
A good electric cello for the price

I bought this cello to practice at home. For this purpose it is excellent. The included bag and bow are good. The included rosin and strings are not so good - but these can be easily replaced.
I highly recommend this cello to anyone interested in learning the instrument.
