Cellos
I am looking for a cello in the price range from 1500 to 2300
dollars. I know this is the low end for cellos but think im getting
ripped off right now. Any help is appreciated. Thank You.

Re:

Ifshin of Berkeley has a German cello in this price range which is
pretty decent. Also, try Cellos2Go and Stringworks, both of which
have good reputations. Also, if a shop is selling you a new cello,
try to compare the prices with discount shops on the internet. It is
reasonable for a local shop to be more expensive, but not twice as
expensive. I think your best buy is a pre-owned cello, but it can be
hard to find one.

The
"eBay"
You may find at www.ebay.com for some celli for auction. I have
seen a GLIGA VASILE 4/4 MAESTRO CELLO there with a first bid price
of US$1,600. It seems great.
Hope the information is
helpful.

Having tried out several lower priced cellos, I now got a Maestro
from Stringworks- it's a new line, chinese, and has an excellent
sound. Now it is $1600, but I am told the price will go up. And they
are good people to deal with. Herbert.

Re:

I paid $2500 for my Van Aue German made student cello. I like it
quite a bit. I tried four of them (same model - that is "identical")
and one didn't impress me much at all and the other two were OK. I
liked this one much more.
A former fellow student had a
Doetsch. It sounded very nice to me. However, I heard "rumors" that
they can vary a lot from instrument to instrument and that the way
in which they were constructed meant they wouldn't last a long time.
It was a luthier who wanted to sell me something else telling me
this . . . so keep that in mind. I believe this cello cost about the
same as (or a little less than) mine.
I don't like to be
ripped off either. I tend to buy mail order when I can. But with
something that is as personal, quirky, unique, etc., etc. as a cello
. . . I don't mind paying more. I got more. I got a practice room a
fist full of bows, several cellos, and when I brought it back
because the action was too high . . . it turned out the neck angle
was off. They re-aligned it (no small project) . . . for free.

Re:

Hey, Chris I was curious, how do you to produce those extended
links that take you to an exact page on a site? I want to add a link
to a particular page at Shar in my post, but my server doesn't show
the linked address unless I leave ICS and manually write down what's
in the address box at that page and come back to ICS and type what I
wrote down. Is there an easier way to produce an extended
link?

links
it depends on how the site is set up. you can just right click and
"open in new window", and you'll get the link you want in the
address bar (this is if you are using a pc sorry i'm not familar
with macs) or you can right click the page and go to "properties"
and you'll see the URL in the window that pops up.
happy
linking.

RE:Cellos
I highly recommend Stringworks
In my opinion they have the best
product for the money.

Re:

After having played a Shar instrument in that price range only
briefly, thank heavens, my advice would be to go look at the old
German cello.

Re:

Absolutely go to www.stringworks.com
They have the best
quality, best program, best service of any internet company selling
musical instruments that I have ever seen.
I purchased from
them and have absolutely no complaints. I think they helped Webster
define customer satisfaction.
