Measure from the tip of the index finger to the tip of the pinky with the hand naturally extended. When between sizes, choosing the smaller cello generally makes early technique and posture more comfortable. Generally: 4\/4 (ages 14+), 3\/4 (ages 11-13), 1\/2 (ages 7-11), and 1\/4 (ages 5-7).

Measure from the tip of the index finger to the tip of the pinky with the hand naturally extended. When between sizes, choosing the smaller cello generally makes early technique and posture more comfortable. Generally: 4\/4 (ages 14+), 3\/4 (ages 11-13), 1\/2 (ages 7-11), 1\/4 (ages 5-7), and 1\/8 and under (ages 4 and younger).

Genuine ebony fittings, an individually fitted maple bridge, and a carbon composite tailpiece provide durable, player-friendly performance. \u003ca title=\"D'Addario Prelude Cello Strings\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sharmusic.com\/collections\/cello-strings?sort_by=best-selling\u0026amp;q-brand=\u0026amp;filter.p.vendor=Prelude+%28D%27Addario%29\u0026amp;filter.v.price.gte=\u0026amp;filter.v.price.lte=\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eD’Addario Prelude\u003c\/a\u003e steel-core strings offer stable tuning, clear response, and dependable durability for lessons, rehearsals, and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis deluxe outfit includes everything found in the standard \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Franz Hoffmann Danube Cello Outfit\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sharmusic.com\/products\/franz-hoffmann-danube-cello-outfit\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDanube Cello Outfit\u003c\/a\u003e: a brazilwood cello bow with natural horsehair and a half-lined frog, a lightweight 5 mm. foam cello bag, dark rosin, an endpin anchor, and cleaning cloths.

Measure from the tip of the index finger to the tip of the pinky with the hand naturally extended. When between sizes, choosing the smaller cello generally makes early technique and posture more comfortable. Generally: 4\/4 (ages 14+) and 3\/4 (ages 11-13).
