This cello is outfitted with a padded lightweight carrying soft case with pockets and adjustable backpack straps (making it convenient to carry to school or orchestra), a Brazilwood bow with unbleached horsehair, cello stand, rosin cake, and an extra set of cello strings. Please note that the bridge will not be setup before shipment to avoid damage to the cello body during transit. How to choose Cello size Measuring yourself or a child for cello size: Seat the child (or yourself) so that the knees are bent at a ninety degree angle. The instrument should rest such that the upper rim of the cello body rests on the sternum (breast bone), and the left knee contacts the curve below the lower bout corner. The C string peg (for the thickest string) should be near the left ear, with the neck a few inches away from the shoulder, and the left hand able to reach both ends of the fingerboard with ease. Hand size is also the primary consideration when determining the proper size to purchase. Too large an instrument can throw your balance off and/or induce tension in the left hand. If the choice between two sizes of instrument is close choose the smaller. Refer to our recommended ages and sizes on the right. Please keep in mind that this is a rough scale, and may not necessarily work for your child. Also, don't forget to consider your child's growth pattern, which might be an important factor! Review: Beautiful student instrument well worth the money. - 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 desertcart, 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 desertcart is now $999.99 and on KKMusic is $899.99 - the price I paid on desertcart 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 desertcart 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. Review: Great buy - would strongly recommend - Im a self-taught adult beginner - I spent months scouring the internet for advice and recommendations regarding getting the best bang for my buck for a starter cello. This company kept popping up on every list I found for reccommended beginner cellos. I made sure to buy the version with real ebony fittings (versus the lower numbered models available), as that seemed to be a better investment and where I prioritized my spending for. So I took the dive and got it and I'm very impressed. First off - I was anxious due to other reviews and pictures of folks recieving their cellos scratched/dinged up. Mine was not - it came in pristine condition. Second - you're buying a bundle package and its not expensive. There's a reason for that 🤣 you cant expect top quality without spending top dollar on certain items....instruments are one of those items lol. The rosin is not good (my instrument produced a sound that was 10 times better just by buying a quality DARK rosin). The bow could stand with an upgrade, same with the strings. You'll also need to buy a cello stopper so your instrument isn't sliding around when trying to play it. And the instrument ARRIVES WITH THE BRIDGE DOWN - the company is very clear about this, so the reviews dinging it for arriving without the bridge up perplexed me. (There are YouTube videos that instruct you on how to install the bridge properly). I recently took the instrument to a luthier and got their input - I was pleased to hear that they found it to be exactly what I wanted; an instrument that will be enjoyable to learn on because it does sound nice and is pretty nicely constructed and will carry me into intermediate levels. At that point I'll invest more heavily in a better instrument if my passion continues. The manufacturing errors was the necks varnish was filed down some to fit the ebony fretboard 🤷 it took a professional to pount that out to me, so I'm not worried about it. Tweaks can be, should be, made to bring out the potential sound quality of the instrument (adjusting the bridge, knot, and string height for example). That said though, the cello stand is NICE, as is the hard carrying case and the bones of the instrument. Third - I UNDERSTAND that the options of renting from a string store would have been/would be a better deal than buying this instrument. You get a better quality instrument and the renting would/could be cheaper. But, for me, this was a more feasible option given my city doesnt have a store that rents out cellos (the closest one is over an hour away) and given the COVID situation, I had no idea when such stores would reopen or even exist when this passes. I'd recommend this purchase and I'm very pleased with it. ## Features - GREAT STUDENT & BEGINNERS CELLO: The Cecilio CCO-100 cello instrument kit is an ideal beginner music instrument for any student, young or old, who has dreams of playing music. The set includes all the necessities to start learning how to play. - ELEGANT DESIGN: As beautiful as most stringed music instruments for adults and kids, this cello has a crack-proof spruce top; maple back, neck and sides with a beautiful natural finish. An elegant classical instrument that products a pristine sound. - CELLO ACCESSORIES KIT INCLUDES: This 4/4 cello is outfitted with a padded lightweight carrying soft case with pockets and adjustable backpack straps, a Brazilwood bow, cello stand, rosin cake, and an extra set of cello strings. - THE RIGHT SIZE: When choosing an acoustic cello for adults and kids, it's extremely important to find the proper size. The player’s height and hand size are most important. Refer to our recommended ages and sizes on the the table below for help. - HANDLE WITH CARE: The cello 4/4, like most band & orchestra musical instruments, is delicate. Please note the bridge will not be setup to avoid damage during shipping. NOTE: Tuning pegs must be handled with care and pushed in when adjusting. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004ZBARB2 | | Back Material Type | Maple | | Best Sellers Rank | #11,549 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #3 in Acoustic Cellos | | Body Material Type | Maple (back, neck, sides), Spruce (top) | | Brand | Cecilio | | Brand Name | Cecilio | | Color | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 2,327 Reviews | | Finish Type | Polished | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00847848000256 | | Hand Orientation | Right Handed | | Included Components | with case | | Instrument | Cello | | Instrument Size | Full | | Item Dimensions | 59 x 19 x 14 inches | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 59 x 19 x 14 inches | | Manufacturer | Cecilio Musical Instruments | | Manufacturer Part Number | 4/4CCO-Blue | | Material Type | Spruce, Maple | | Model Name | CCO | | Model Number | 4/4CCO-Blue | | Number of Strings | 4 | | Operation Mode | acoustic | | Size | Full | | String Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Top Material Type | Spruce | | UPC | 847848000256 | | Warranty Description | 1 year warranty against manufacturer's defects. | ## Product Details - **Back Material Type:** Maple - **Brand:** Cecilio - **Color:** Blue - **Finish Type:** Polished - **Instrument:** Cello - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 59 x 19 x 14 inches - **Operation Mode:** acoustic - **Size:** Full - **String Material Type:** Alloy Steel - **Top Material Type:** Spruce ## Images ![Musical Instrument for Beginners - 4/4 Full Size Cellos Kit with Bow, Stand, Bag - Stringed Music Instruments for School Orchestras, Performances,Blue - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yNmMWj5ZL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful student instrument well worth the money. *by J***F on April 4, 2018* 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.

I am a beginning cello student with a former background as a classically trained flautist and am fairly comfortable with the idea...you get what you pay for.. I did not expect the cello to be of symphony caliber...what I did expect is that Amazon's advertising, would correctly and adequately represent the purchase. Upon receiving...advertised bow and stand were missing ( no biggie, call and get replacements ). The bridge is not attached (standard for shipping) you therefore must get a luthier or competent repair/set-up specialist to service instrument ( which I did ). I was told.. In order to make this a playable cello, I would need to: A) Have nut rescored and shaven B) Have new, higher ( unsupplied ) bridge replacement C) The fingerboard needed reshaping and he could not do because it was too thin and painted (not rosewood, as advertised) Reshaping was necessary to learn proper note placement, otherwise everything would be a 'fret' too sharp from straining to press down string......very sore. calloused fingers and NO joy in playing= instrument collecting dust in corner from unuse. Bowing would also be effected D) Have the body/tonal(treble)pin and bass pin repositioned. E) Advertised solid spruce top is nothing more than plywood with a spruce veneer...not much could be done about this and I was told it would severely effect sound. In all a 350$ job. Add this to the 234$..you've just spent, well you get the picture. As I see it I had 2 choices: A)Suck it up, spend the money and I would have had a still less than so-so acceptable cello that was cheaper than a quality entry level instrument. OR B)Spend the money on the quality entry level instrument that would well serve me into intermediate/advanced beginner levels, and still have a fine instrument to resell or pass down. ( Let me state that I am a beginning adult player) Amazon's misleading print about this instrument has cost me time, money, frustrations and delays...People, please keep ...this is mind ' YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR ' you will never find a new cello with rosewood/ebony fingerboards and tuners for less than 800-1000$. Unpainted, hardwood fingerboards are relatively necessary if you need to fine tune instrument ,from a bowing and action perspective (mentioned above). If you are an adult or child that really,really, really loves music, who believes they have the ability to learn and wants to put in the time practicing and not end up hating the instrument...do yourself the favor of doing your homework....Save and research.
