Roth & Junius Europe 4/4 AS Student Cello

I am a beginner and I enjoy this cello!

Thanks to Thomann's generous return policy and a friendly advise I was able to switch to this cello after trying another one first, which despite OK sound was looking rather uninspiring.

The cello is actually slightly less dark than on the photos and the beautiful texture of the wood is visible. Matte finish is exactly what I like!

The fine-tuners here seemed a bit off-putting to me (that's why I did not even consider this one first) but they are good in real life: very solid, easy to adjust. It's easy to replace the tailpiece if I ever want, though the removable fine-tuners already allowed me to experiment with gut strings.

I ended up replacing the A and D strings with Larsen's because Jargar's were sounding too different from G and C when using a practice mute.

Update: I was worried about wolf tones after reading other reviews, but there were no wolfs in the one I got.
