Lost in Manufacturers
I am just beginning to play and looking to get my first instrument. I have tried to find sites that tell more about different producers of cellos and how they compare. No luck finding one. I have ran across the same names and wondered which were worth looking at and which are not.

Gliga, Duetsch,and Englehardt Any help would be much appreciated.

What you definitely want to avoid is a plywood monster. I'm not 100% certain, but I think Englehart is plywood. I'm not familiar with Gliga. The first cello I bought was a Rudolph Doetsch, and if that's the brand you're refering to, they're pretty good instruments with a nice big sound.

I highly recommend you contact Ellen at Cellos2go. She's extremely knowledgeable, and even more helpful.

Good luck.

Re: Lost in Manufacturers
Val,

You are going about your search the right way - asking fellow cellists their opinions is much more valuable than trying to get information from a site that will more than likely be biased toward its own brand of instruments. Remember, only you can make the decision of which instrument is right for you - you are the one who has to play it day after day :-)

I strongly suggest you perform a search on the board as there is a lot of information about many different brands already posted on the board, so you might have all your questions already answered. Perform a search (using the search function at the top right) and enter some key words to direct your search. You will probably come up with 15 - 30 messages directly dealing with various new instrument brands, and what the cellists on the board think about them.

Good luck in your search!

Todd
