To start off, I am a senior in highschool playing orchestral Tenor trombone. I am interested in learning the cello as a second instrument just for fun and for educational purposes. As for my learning process, I am interested in purchasing a cello. Looking to spend Up to $700, what are some good brands, models, what should i be looking for?
ps. a $200 cello will suffice if it has a pretty tone

To be honest, in that price range, you'd probably be best off getting a rental to start off with. Then when you're sure you want to continue, you can get something more substantial. Rentals are really cheap (in the UK, about £10, but I think reading US boards, that you can pick one up for about the same in dollars).

Renting a cello may fit your budget a bit more~

As what I did. I rented to own- perhaps you can find a plan like that at any violin shop around. Grant it, I had to rent for 7 years to get mine (at 30$ a month) but it is well worth it, and if you find you don't like the cello enough, you can just send it back. smile.gif But, I'm sure you'll love it just fine.
