While it’s strictly an entry-level instrument, we’ve selected the Mowbray Model 1 because it avoids the structural flaws common in most budget cellos. It’s a functional, no-frills "workhorse" designed to get a student through those first few years without the instrument fighting back.
Drawing on years of experience, we’ve ensured this range offers a reliable build and a surprisingly resonant low end for its class. To make sure it’s actually playable from day one, we perform a full professional setup—adjusting the pegs, bridge, and string height—so you aren't struggling with poor mechanics. It’s a complete, "plug-and-play" outfit that includes the bow, rosin, and case.
What makes our cellos different?
What makes our Cellos Different?
We don't just rent any instrument, we want to encourage the player to learn and enjoy, so we take a good quality instrument and then:
- Adjust the height of the bridge and nut. (Too high and the strings are hard to press down. Too low and they buzz on the fingerboard)
- Check the curve of the bridge. (Too shallow and you play 2 strings at once, too high and you catch the wood at the edge.)
- Check the fit of the pegs. (Too loose and the instrument won't stay in tune. Too tight and it's very difficult to tune!)
- Check the fit and position of the soundpost. (Too tight and it can crack the cello. Too loose and it will keep falling down. The sound is stifled if it is positioned incorrectly.)
- Fit high quality strings for increased sound quality. (RRP 77.00)
- We swap out the factory supplied bow, with a quality P&H bow.
