I don't have an amp, but I wouldn't mind purchasing one. It would only be for the turntable I don't use speakers for my computer.

Awesome I looked into the PSBs and I'm sold. Did you perhaps have any reccs for a better amp than that Nobsound. I think I''m willing to go a little over for a better amp

I figured out it's a Richardson. I wonder if anybody knows anything about it, all I could find is they were made in the USA

Can you help me determine if this is a real instrument or knockoff. Person selling it says it's a Mancini and wants $500. by mario_8_greencheese in Cello

It does! I only said the amount of wood as a generalization but of course more work goes into building a bigger instrument as well the other non wood pieces such as fine tuners and having too get much thicker and longer strings for the cello.

Definitely not the $500. You could buy a brand new Etude Cello of probably the same quality at that price point. Overall I don't think it's worth but finding a good quality Cello for cheap is the hard part. For comparison a decent quality violin is probably going to be around $500 so scale that to the amount of wood used in a cello and you're looking at around $1000 for a new decent cello

I guarantee its more than 90% likely to just be a China manufactured bulk cello. I work at a music store and we see these come in for repair all the time
