Spare Cello

Picked up a student cello (Cecilio CCO-200) for $250 from craigslist this evening so I would have a spare for my chamber music class until my real cello gets fixed. It has low bridge issues which effects the "C" String but otherwise it plays okay. At least the low bridge makes thumb position easier. A new Cecilio CCO-200 runs around $385 online with shipping and would still need to be adjusted. I'll have to be satisfied with this deal as renting a cello would have cost me $130 (minimum 3 month rental). My Suzuki teacher friend came along with me to look at the cello and thought it adequate for my needs. I wasn't enthusiastic but I guess I am spoiled by the way my good cello plays and sounds.
