My cello teacher hooked me up with an excellent cello, but I couldn’t afford the rent for it so she bought the cello straight up and said I could begin to give her what I could when I was in a more stable financial situation 😭

It’s an antique Chinese crafted cello. It is the smallest cello I’ve had (bc Chinese cellos are typically smaller) but it produces the loudest and richest sound of any cello I’ve had. I also got a wooden bow with it, which has significantly changed my bowing for the better.
