OT help in buying a cello

[Don]

Hi Greg,

Make sure she has an excellent bow.

Her teacher should be very involved in the process of selecting an instrument.

Buy the very best instrument you can afford and it will appreciate over time.

Strings are more like putting fuel in your car. A particular instrument
with a particular bow may do well with a particular make of strings. Again
the teacher should be involved.
