Palatino Allegro Cello Outfit, with Carrying Bag 4/4 Size Review

I recently purchased my Palatino Allegro cello and I am very happy.

When it arrived it was well packaged, and looked great. Of course I had to set up the bridge because it's not shipped with it in place (this is the safest way to ship it).

The original strings were the first things I removed- they sounded HORRIBLE! I purchased D'addagio student strings and it made a huge difference.
The tone only improves at this point as the strings seem to stretch, and the has cello acclimated.
The sound is warm and rich tone, especially for the price.

Upper and middle register sound very good- warm, and resonant.

The only issue with the cellos sound is it'slowest notes...it's bass resonance isn't the clearest or fullest, but that could also be my own bowing/technique.

Very good quality cello overall- great sound- and perfect for beginners. It doesn't sound cheap at all..it doesn't sound expensive either but the sound is good quality.

The only things I didn't like where original strings and the bow. The bow is pretty cheap and I plan on investing in a more expensive one down the line.

Cecilio CCO-200 4/4 Size Handmade All Solid Wood Cello Outfit Review

I just got this instrument about 20 minutes before the UPS was going to close which was nice but anyways, just utterly fabulous instrument, what you get is all you need. No need for super sensitive strings or anything and the bow is more than good enough for this packaged price. I took the instrument out and UNLIKE OTHERS used my brain and wondered why would they not set the bridge? hmmm MAYBE TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE AMAZING INSTRUMENT. So i set the bridge pretty easily with help from my mom since i didn't feel comfortable tightening the strings on the finger board and just slipped the bridge in the center the the f-holes, you'll notice little notches in the center on the f-holes and just put the bridge their but remember to place it a bit closer to the soundpost which is on the left side of the instrument and also tilt the bridge a bit backwards so when you tighten the strings it doesn't bend the bridge. So then i rosined the bow for about 20 minutes and tried the instrument. Pure bliss, beautiful sound but i did have a problem, which was my own fault. Before tuning the strings, if you feel that its a little harder than it should be go to the tailpiece and check where the end the of string is. You'll see a little cylinder that holds the string in place, make sure its not in some sort of funny angle, make sure its nice and even and flat because I broke a string like that, thank amazon for the amazing deal that comes with a NEW SET OF STRINGS. So yea over all great, and I will be reporting back once I go to my teacher and see if he approves of the instrument he's very very good and well known so if he approves of it any teacher will. Oh and sorry Amazon for the 4 out 5, I gave that because I kinda disliked the Cecilio logo/name on the back on the instrument, unappealing :P but in general great.
