Beginner Student Cellos
Starting a musical journey with a reliable, quality instrument is the key to a successful experience.
Meyer Music offers quality student-level cellos as rent-to-own, matching school teacher preferences with included accessories. All accumulated rental credit transfers to larger sizes and higher levels as players grow in size and skill.
Step-Up Cellos
As your player progresses and encounters more challenging music, their cello should match their growing skills.
Their student-level cello was a great start to their musical journey and “stepping up” will take them even further!
Compared to student level cellos which are designed to be solid and durable, Step-Up cellos are made of high-end materials for enhanced tone and may include special features, such as upgraded bows and strings for extended range and enhanced control.
