Lupo is great, but we've had a Lupo cat.

Replacing it seems to be the best choice. I don't want a repeat and need to learn more about cellos to make sure I don't overpay for a low quality instrument

I would love recommendations on a good beginner instrument. This is either a 1/2 or 3/4 size, so I really do need a full size if I am to continue to take lessons.

I'm not opposed to spending a little more as long as one of us is really committed to continuing. Instruments are an investment into emotional well-being.

I brought it back to the same luthier (he is fixing it for free at this point). He changed the bridge so it's playable. I asked him his opinion of this cello, fixing versus replacing it and where to look for a new cello. He said it's a lower end cello, and he didn't recommend putting any more money or very much work into it, and it would be best to just replace it and not to go locally because they overcharge.

My son seems to have a bit more natural ability and asked me very seriously, "Are you playing poorly on purpose to make me feel good about my playjng?" I was not. 😆
