Choosing Your Cello: Expert Shopping Tips You Can Trust


From concert halls to cinematic soundtracks, the cello remains one of music’s most enduring and versatile instruments. This cornerstone of the modern string section adds depth and beauty to everything from classical orchestral works to symphonic pop and metal compositions. As part of your ensemble, the cello anchors bass lines and enriches melodies with its resonant low register, rich bowed tone, and vibrant pizzicato.


Are you shopping for the cello and accessories to elevate your auditions and recitals? Whether you’re taking your first steps in your music or making the leap from a different stringed instrument, Sweetwater has the selection and expertise to help you find the right fit. Read on for tips on choosing the right cello — from size and brand to skill level — and see how easy it is to buy or rent with confidence at Sweetwater.

Cello FAQs: What to Know Before You Bow


What is a cello?


The cello is a four-stringed member of the violin family, best known for its soaring yet somber voice and wide register spanning bass to soprano tones. The cello may be bowed or plucked to suit a variety of styles and scores.


When was the cello invented?


The violoncello (as it was first known) emerged in Italy during the mid-16th century. Originally designed to support bass lines and emulate the expressive qualities of the human voice, the cello’s deeply resonant, emotive tone quickly made it a favorite for solo work and ensemble settings. Today, the cello remains a cornerstone of classical music and continues to gain ground in contemporary genres, including gaming soundtracks and streaming scores. Contact Sweetwater to learn more about how you can bring the cello’s stately, melodious sound to your orchestra or other ensemble settings.


How do you tune a cello?


Standard cello tuning is C2, G2, D3, A3 (low to high), with the A string tuned to A440 reference pitch. The easiest way to tune your cello is to place a clip-on tuner at the scroll or bridge and, beginning with the A string and working your way down, slowly turn each tuning peg until you reach the correct note. Once you’ve tuned all four strings, tune again using the fine tuners to make precise adjustments, as changing one string’s tension can slightly affect the others. If you don’t have a dedicated tuner, many mobile apps offer reliable cello tuning using your phone’s microphone.


How much does a good cello cost?


Cellos prices at Sweetwater vary based on build quality, materials, and player level. Our student cellos in the $1,000–3,000 range provide a strong foundation for newer players taking their first steps in orchestral music. Intermediate cellos in the $3,000–6,000 range tend to feature higher-quality tonewood and construction to give advanced students a richer sound. And professional cellos? These premium instruments, prized for their artisan craftsmanship and hand-selected tonewoods, can easily exceed $10,000. Whatever your level, Sweetwater’s curated cello selection is backed by our 40-point Band and Orchestra Inspection and world-class customer support. Explore our buying and rental options below to find the right fit for you or your student.


What size cello do I need?


Choosing the right cello size is foundational to comfort and technique. Find tips for sizing your next cello by height, age, or arm length in our string instrument sizing guide — complete with charts and diagrams to start players of all ages on the right path.
