Sorry I didn't mean for this to go to the for sale section. |

| Never played one but I've seen them often enough; looks like the usual sort of deal, bang on the strings and move your fingers around etc. but I would imagine that it's a lot of work before you can get any kind of decent sound from it at ll. |

Cellos cost way more than guitars. Usually. But I got one for my wife to learn on several years back. I was the only bidder on the auction, probably because the ad said it needed work. I put a couple hundred bucks into a set up, but non-cellist that I am, I thought it looked pretty decent.
The luthier (Randy Woods near Savannah, GA), copied the serial number while I was there and told me to look it up.
Turned out to be a Kay cello made in 1938! :eek:
I have no idea what it's really worth, but probably more than the several hundred I spent on it. (About the cost of a used Legend from the 'Bay.)
And most importantly?
She loves it!  |
