I bought this cello about 18 months ago. I've been a musician for over 20 years, but this is my first cello. Since I didn't know if the instrument would be right for me I decided to go inexpensive. The fact that it came with a second set of strings, "hard" foam case, soft case, stand, rosin and a bow, I thought this was quite a steal.
You get what you pay for, it's true. This is no orchestra instrument by any means. But for a beginner it is a heck of a deal. If mine broke I'd either buy this one again or one of the step up models (CCO-400 or 500 series) as I probably wouldn't allow myself to spend over 1k on any other student model, at least until I'm only using it for studying and doing some home recording.

I was looking for a travel cello case,something that would protect my cello from the airline baggage people's rough handling and this case looked and is very reliable since I've heard the fiberglass ones can crack if handled roughly. This case is very suitable and does protect my cello the way i expected it to. Even looking at the picture it looks sturdier and a more durable material then it actually is. I expected the outside of it to be some sort of cemetric like material on the outside but it is plastic, but it is still a good case. but it is military grade and it durable. but also lighter then i thought it would be.
