Review: Beautiful look and sound, well worth the price. - As I received both the CCO-500 and CCO-600 I will include information comparing the two, as I found comparisons hard to find when I was looking at reviews for these instruments. We are retired and purchased the Cecilio CCO-600 for my wife, who is just beginning to learn to play the cello. It is a beautiful looking and beautiful sounding instrument. We originally purchased a CCO-500 which had some non-shipping related damage and, after speaking to KKMusic (who offered to replace the 500 with another), decided to purchase the 600. The 500 was beautiful also and great sounding to our ears but the 600 had a fuller sound with more projection - I could feel the C string's vibration in my body from a short distance away. Customer service at KKMusic was responsive and friendly. I had a cello teacher look at and play both the 500 and 600. While he was impressed with CCO-500 for the price and thought it beautifully made he said the CCO-600 was much better, calling the 500 a "student cello" in comparison. The wood used has obviously hand-picked, with the spruce top having close grains in the center and widening towards the sides. The maple sides and backs are gorgeous with their flaming (real flaming where you can observe the shift from dark to light to dark when you move the instrument in the light) and the oil finish does nothing to obscure the beauty of the instrument. On both cellos, there were minor imperfections due to the hand carving and perhaps handling after the cello was made - the 600 has a sliver of one of the corners of the bout that has been glued back on, but you have to look close to discover it. The 500 did have a serious 3 1/2" deep scratch along with the bridge being cut a bit too short, which is why we returned it. As mentioned in the item listing both cellos had the bridge down and tied with a ribbon to the neck. I found them easy to install after watching a video by Linda West (https://www.lindawest.com/setting-up-a-bridge-on-a-cello-a/108.htm) - there is both a video and step-by-step pictures and descriptions on the page. Both cello's sounding peg was upright and in place. Both cellos, one shipped by USPS and one by UPS, arrived without undue damage to the boxes or contents. There seems to be some inconsistency to the packing process: The CCO-500 barely had any packing material, just some wadded up heavy plastic and nothing else. There was no additional protection in the hard (cardboard?) case with the cello and the bow was in one of the bow holders in the case. The CCO-600 had the box lined with 1/2" thick pieces of styrofoam, then a combination of bubble wrap and air pillows. The fiberglass case itself was encased in a sleeve and inside the case was more bubble wrap protecting the cello. The cello bow was separately wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in the box outside of the case. We did spend $20 at a music store to have the footing of the bridge for the 600 sanded and fitted properly as it did not fit completely flat to the body of the cello. For $20 I figured it was worth having a professional do the job. The 500's bridge footing was perfect once I set it up. I suspect the 600 might not have gone through a complete set-up process in Cecilio's California site before being sent out. The nuts holding the fine tuners to the bridge were loose and the cello's strings looked to be put in haphazardly; I need to unwind and rewind so they didn't cross themselves in the pegbox. The 500's strings were would perfectly and the fine tuner was tightly affixed to the tailpiece. These items weren't a problem and easily remedied. I would recommend purchasing the cello through desertcart, as you won't be charged anything if returning the instrument (at least through Prime). KKMusic on their site states there is a $69 charge for cello returns, plus the customer handles return postage. The KKMusic site does offer a couple of other knick-knacks for the same price. You might want to check out both sites as I see the price of CCO-600 on desertcart is now $999.99 and on KKMusic is $899.99 - the price I paid on desertcart a few days ago. The fiberglass (or ABS) case that came with my 600 included a built-in handle on the head of the case for hauling around if you're dragging the case using the wheels. I noticed this handle in the Cecilio video but not on the pictures here at desertcart or at KKMusic. When talking with Customer Service at KKMusic (which is the distribution arm of Cecilio - same physical address in California) the rep told me, after checking with someone else, the wood used in the Cecilio cellos was aged from 3 to 5 years. The 600 description states the wood is aged at least 7 years, so her information may have been for the models under the 600. There wasn't anyone that could give me a definitive answer even though I ended speaking to a supervisor for 20 minutes - she offered to contact the people that would know, but that would still just be someone's word. The 600 certainly uses a better grade of wood all around, but of course there is no way to tell actual aging of wood used in any instrument. We are very pleased with the fit and finish of the 600 we received - I went over the instrument inch-by-inch, using a magnifying glass at times. I think a begining student would be happy with either cello. I went with the step-up so we wouldn't be looking for something better in a few years.
Review: I can’t live without it - I waited a few months to write this review. About me: a violinist in pre/teen years. Learning cello, viola, and violin as an adult, 20+ years later. Bottom line up front: as a daily, but casual player, I feel confident that it will be many years before I feel the need to upgrade this cello, if ever. I think I will keep it forever because I love it so much. I upgraded the strings after about a week. The stock strings were okay, but the Larsen/Helicore combination is very forgiving, and has an excellent tone on this cello. A worthy upgrade. The strings have settled in nicely and I’ve gone more than a month only needing to use fine tuners, but it took about a month of settling / adjusting to get to that point. The bow broke, but it fell from a height of 4+ feet, as I wall hang my cello. The bow was a bit light for my liking, though. I ultimately repaired it and use it on my viola, where the weight is great for my playing style. The floor stand it comes with isn’t wide enough for me to feel comfortable storing it there, between my roomba and toddler, there would be an accident. Contrary to other reviews, the cello DOES pack into the hard case with the bridge on. No issues with the case at all and the cello was received unblemished with sound post in place. Bridge setup was easy, but again I have experience with string instruments. I had a buzzing that was more severe than a wolf tone, and it turned out to be the brass rattling on the endpin. Seeing no way to tighten it, I simply wedged a rubber band in the gap where the brass wouldn’t lie flush and broke it off so you can’t see the band. It plays like an absolute dream now. I play this everyday. It’s the first thing I do when I wake up. The way this beauty rattles my chest is transcendent. It grounds me, it’s addictive, it makes playing the violin feel like an abusive relationship, haha. For the price paid, it’s so worth it. Hope this review helps

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has the hard case been improved to correct for the inadequate protection it's been shown to have?**
A: When I bought my Cello, it was not broken in the sense that the neck snapped like you see in some older posts. My problem is that once the bridge is set up, the cello no longer fits into the hard case. The company was great to work with when I made a complaint about this and some scratches in the wood. I had to send everything back and they sent me a new set. The new cello was in perfect condition but the second case had the same problem of my first one where the cello would not fit into the case after the bridge was set up. I gave up after that as I didn't want to go through the motion of sending things back and forth. Nice cello after the strings are changed. I have a full set of medium Helicores'.

**Q: Has anyone had an issue with having the soundpost installed or does it come set, thanks**
A: My Cecillio Cello arrived with the sound post lying loose in the body.  I had a music store technician grab it with a special pliers and correctly position it.  Problem solved and still playing well, nearly a year later.  Wish I played well too :-)

**Q: Is the instrument ready to go once the bridge is in place?**
A: In my case the instrument came without the brige in place, I have to put it in place because I know to do that. After that, I haved played since 2008. But If you want a better sound you should take it to a luthier. A very important thing is to check if the cello post is in-place, otherwise you will damage the instrument. Best regards.

**Q: ebony fingerboard ? what kind off wood it is made ?**
A: Mine has solid ebony finger board and tail piece as well. The top is super tight grained book matched spruce. Looks like Engleman or Sitka. The sides and back are highly flamed maple. You can’t get finer woods at any price. Top and back are book matched as well.

### ⭐ Sounded bad, looked bad, and was hard to play
*by J***S on January 19, 2011*

This cello was a terrible disappointment. Cosmetically, there were several dull spots and the finish was uneven. Structurally, it was way off the standard specifications for cello construction. Since this was so far out of the standards for a cello, it would be terrible to try and learn on, and worse to play with others. Bottom line - it was hard to play, looked bad and sounded bad. I contacted the company to try and get a replacement, and they claimed that there are no standard specifications for a cello and ignored the cosmetic defects. Then, they refused to refund the shipping costs. Stay away from this cello and this company. BTW, I ordered a Knilling cello from Amazon, and it looked good, was right on the standard specifications and sounds beautiful.
