Beginner Cello Comparison 

haha Hi Justine, It was made by a French maker around the year 2000 to celebrate 20th century music. It is designed to compliment modern music. :-) Maybe we should do a video on it?

@@sydneystringcentre I didn't expect to get a reply😁. Thank you. A video demonstration on how it sounds like would be really interesting not just for me, but also for those who may have noticed it.

Do a video on it!

Yeah that looks dodgy! 😬😬😬😬😬

it's "Art2000" by Roger Lanne, french maker in Paris 12°, my ancient teacher Barbara Marcinkowska recorded a cd with this cello ;-)

Thanks so much for your lovely comment! 🙂

Great to hear Sammy!

haha. That picture was made by one of our staff members :-) they took a photo of their own cello and photoshopped it in with Mona!

​@@sydneystringcentre May I get a copy?😅

I liked this best of the 4, actually the G string sounds really lovely

Hi there! Glad you liked the video and thanks for your comment. All of these cellos are our' home' brands, which means some of the the models are exclusive to our store. You may find a couple of them in stores around Australia as well, however they won't be available outside Australia. If your son is doing grade 4 pieces and about to go onto a 4/4 (full size) cello, if your budget allows we would recommend the Schroeder 100 cello. This cello would be a great option for the next few years of playing. Once he reaches a 7th grade level, if he's playing competitively and doing a lot of performance we would suggest upgrading. If he is still on a fractional size then a Schroeder 30J would be perfectly fine, and you could reassess when he's ready for a 4/4 cello. If you feel he is only ever going to play for leisure and not take exams too seriously then any of these instruments would be fine! 🙂 If you aren't in Australia, we would suggest going to a store that specialises in string instruments. They will be able to guide you through their own selection of instruments and your son can have a play to see which cello he likes the sound of. Just make sure that the cello has been setup by a trained Luthier and that your teacher is happy with the brands and store you chose as well. Good luck!

Hi Taylore, they all have the same strings (Larsen regular A & D with Larsen Crown G & C) except for the Schroeder 100 which has a full set of regular larsen strings :-)

Hi Daniel, are you referring to the cello behind Doug? If so, It was made by a French maker around the year 2000 to celebrate 20th century music. It is designed to compliment modern music. :-)

I would love to know more about that unique cello! 😄🎻

Hi Dan, yep all the cellos in the video are 4/4. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask! :-)

Hi Keith, yes a 4/4 cello should be fine for you :-) Doug in the video would be about the same height as you and he’s playing on 4/4 cellos. Always best to get sized up in person though so that the shop assistant can have a look at arm length and hand size as well. :-)

Thx for mentioning it

Hail the Conquering Hero

Any good artist can play on a cheap cello and it sounds great, but nevertheless there is a big difference between cheap and advanced cellos!
