Larsen 4/4 Cello C String Medium Tungsten-Steel Review

I have never been dissapointed with Larsen strings yet. As an orchestra cellist (I do not do as much soloing, though I enjoy accompanyin), these strings are very respected and popular with the other cellist I encounter. They are very good strings, they ring true and deep. Someone once pointed at my C string and said, "whoa you got one of those good strings!" because it was a tungsten (i'm pretty sure) Larsen string. I think they are well worth the price, and I give them the highest rating I can.

Suzuki Cello School Volume 1 - Piano Accompaniment - Book Review

Bought this book for my daughter- age 10.She likes it, but likes Volume 2 better.It has interesting songs, but seemed too simple for her as she had a piano background.Preferred Volume 2 and thinks you should go straight to #2 if you already have a background in music.

TV Favorites for Cello [Paperback] Review

This book has some really neat songs like, Jeopardy!, The Addams Family, The Brady Bunch, Green Acres, The Munsters, NFL on Fox, and my most favorite, Happy Days! But I am not really a big fan of the rest of the songs. They are ok to play a little, but I don't really care for the shows they are from. Like, Family Guy, Entertainment tonight, The Simpsons, etc. Like I said, they are ok to play, but the shows, nahh.

Cremona SC-100 Premier Novice Cello, 1/8 Size Review

I have bought this Cremona cello for my then 5 year old son. I did not expect much from it, therefore I was pleasantly surprised when I heard it. It has a very nice sound, which is, of course, the most important thing for the instrument, it truly sealed my son's love for cello. Besides sounding great it is well built, fine tuners are invaluable and it is wonderful that this cello actually has them. (Some small cellos do not have fine tuners at all). The end pin has a safe point and it slides in and out easily and can be easily adjusted in height. The bow is decent and the nylon case is durable, can be washed, has handy pockets and obvioulsly is very light, another positive aspect when one keeps in mind who is going to carry the instrument on his/her back.

The Original Hill Dark Rosin Review

This rosin has been recommended to me by my violin teacher and I am very happy with the results of using it. The consistency of the rosin is softer then other brands I tried, and thus makes the application onto the bow hair much easier. The rosin stays on the hair for quite a long time, and treated bow produces very clean sound, without any harshness or hisses. Residue fall out onto the violin varnish seems less messy then from some stock rosins I tried. Wrapping the rosin in cloth/sponge is a nice touch - no plastic box to rattle inside your violin case, and your hands stay clean while handling it.

Product Description:
The ultimate rosins, used by professionals worldwide. The Hill Brand rosins are wrapped in their own padded velveteen shell. This is the rosin that others strive to emulate. Used for violin, viola and cello. This dark (green) rosin is slightly softer than the light (amber) and grips abit better. This is the original Hill Dark Rosin, not an imitation!

Pirastro Evah Pirazzi 1/2-3/4 Size Cello Strings, 1/2-3/4 Set Review

I have previously used Larson upper strings and tungsten Spirocore lower.These strings play more easily, with less pressure, yet have a powerful singing sound.Forte sound is obtained using more bow rather than more pressure close to bridge.They also seem to last at least a year and still sound good.

D'addario VR200 Violin Rosin (Light) Review

I was disappointed with this rosin. It creates the grip, but produces a very noisy sound with my violin. Not worth purchasing. After trying this for the first time, I immediately went back to using Hill Light Rosin. Paying a few bucks extra for the Hill or other similar professional rosin is worth it.

Glasser X Series Carbon Graphite Black 4/4 Cello Bow with White Hair Review

I requested this item as a gift because it was affordable.The bow is, of course, important to the sound and I have to say that even though this bow is inexpensive, as an upgrade from my standard issue student fiberglass cheap bow it is 20x the sound quality for 1.5x the price.

Handles nicely, and is probably pretty tough ( I play with a lot of rock bands so this is handy when traveling )

If you are broke but care about your sound, try it fo sho.

Thomastik-Infeld Spirocore 4/4 Cello C String - Tungsten/Steel - Medium Gauge Review

Have patience. When I first put the string on, it sounded horrible! But I went out of town and came back a week later and the string sound PERFECT!!!!! I guess it needed to settle into the cello. The string adds such a glorious warmth & depth to my lower notes. That is, if you like that for your cello. Yes, it is expensive, but it is well worth it.

Musaica Fine Fittings - Cello Tailpiece in Ebony with Built-in Fine Tuners Review

Good looking, smooth fine tuners, no rattles. Very good product. It replaced the single fine tuner tailpiece in my daughters cello. We are very happy. Fine tuners makes the instrument stay tuned a lot longer, I guess messing with the pegs makes them more prone to slow slippage. Well... cannot any talk more, time to play (not tune)...

JonPaul Bravo Cello Bow 4/4 Size Review

I tried a number of carbon fiber bows at about the same price range, and the JonPaul had the best balance.It also might have been a bit lighter in weight. The shape of the "stick" and the frog felt more comfortable in my hand than the others.Needless to say, you would not find a wooden bow anywhere near the quality for ca. $300.

Wittner 7/8 - 4/4 Cello Ultra Composite Tailpiece with 4-tuners and Nylon Tailgut Review

I just purchased a used Franz Hoffman Maestro Cello out of Ann Arbor Michigan.That cello came with this very tailpiece.It works very well.After receiving an ebony tailpiece out of a Tulsa Strings Store with the heavy metal Wittner individual fine tuners, I made my decision not to use that one based on the composite comparison in hand.

I have a second cello, an Eastman Strings 200 Series Cello which requires setup.This cello will receive the same tailpiece and was actually recommended by the luthier in Tulsa after I'd purchased the ebony.I love honesty but I'd also like to hear from others.I'm curious why anyone would pay 51 dollars for a Wittner Aluminum tailpiece when this one is available for 23 dollars?
