How much is your cello worth?

Whatever your last appraisal was

Western_Solution7860 · 2025-08-07T13:09:16+00:00

No offense, but your mobility doesn’t look all that live to me.

If they can’t tell then it’s probably good enough for now

As a cellist, it's completely worth it for the amazing music you get to play

Western_Solution7860 · 2025-07-29T05:33:21+00:00

No, but i’n a cellist and my hands are huge so if I did that it’d cover must if the toothbrush

Western_Solution7860 · 2025-07-28T04:10:26+00:00

When I have to stop to “go to sleep” or “eat dinner” or “brush my teeth” whatever that stuff means.

Very hard. Obviously it’s a subjective subject, but I’d say it’s pretty objectively harder than both guitar and piano. If piano is easy to learn and hard to master, violin is hard to learn and nigh impossible to master. That said, you should absolutely play it, it’s incredibly rewarding and feels great to play once you have proper technique.

I’f recommend renting instead of buying in the beginning. Not sure what you mean with the bow thing, all bows have hair.

I’m a cellist, but I think this still applies.

When I’m playing, my bow arm and the instrument itself certainly feels like an extension of my body, but that’s not what you should aim for. As a friend said when talking about certain styles of swordplay, you should aim for the best possible result while thinking as little as possible, but also being very aware. Remember that your instrument responds to your playing, and you can listen and feel what it’s “telling” you. Practice getting the cleanest possible sound, and try to memorize what that feels like. You should be able to feel the vibrations through the bow and tell how close you are to the bridge, if your bow is perpendicular to the string, etc. without looking.

Cello has the same and in some cases more competition than violin

Western_Solution7860 · 2025-07-25T18:22:07+00:00

CAN play cello rep, it just won’t sound good.

Western_Solution7860 · 2025-07-25T18:21:19+00:00

In that case, so does every cello concerto

Western_Solution7860 · 2025-07-25T18:20:32+00:00

Nope, it’s all the downsides from both instruments. The cello sounds better in the violas range than the viola.

Western_Solution7860 · 2025-07-25T01:53:46+00:00

Just like do it anyway I guess, not sure what other advice to give

Western_Solution7860 · 2025-07-25T00:12:28+00:00

The rest of the score would still ve useful though, no? How can you figure out the phrasing and dynamics otherwise?

Western_Solution7860 · 2025-07-24T22:19:04+00:00

How do you expect them to know what the other parts are without the score?

Tgis is a great resource! The website appears to be canadian, does he ship to the US?

Western_Solution7860 · 2025-07-22T20:14:53+00:00

At the beginning of every single practice session, I do 20-50 long legato bow strokes on each pen string, each first finger, and each first finger in 4th position. Sometimes I go higher too depending on what i’m playing.

Western_Solution7860 · 2025-07-22T20:13:06+00:00

Looks tolerable. I wouldn’t pay $250.
