What is a "bowed" cello? I am not a cello person, just buying this for my wife.

I presume they just mean that the case has a place to store the bow. I think just about any cello case would have storage for 2 bows.

Yes it is already stringed, but you will have to take it to a professional to have it set up to where it can play. You will see additional expense of 150.00 to get this instrument to play. I was extremely disappointed and wish I had just returned it rather than invest more. Bow? Don't know yet. Still haven't pulled it across the strings. It's been in the shop since Christmas. Rethink this selection for a beginners cello.

From my understanding from my vionlin teacher has told me (which she's been teaching for over 12 years with an orchestra) that she told me parts of the violin is ebony, like the frame (the black lines around the body of the violin). I don't remember if she told me that the fingerboard and the tuners were ebony though. Although some violins are like that. I hope this helps. I bought this one out of "gut feeling". Turns out its a pretty good violin. The only down side for me is that once i got the violin tuned the pegs tends to slip out of place, but some fine chalk powder can fix that. When i received the violin, one of the bows was dirty and the horse hair was coming undone, the other one was ok but i bought a new one after my teacher told me to. I hope this helps.

I haven't heard of anyone that has, but I don't see a reason why not. You should check with others that play electric cello and see what they recommend.

I'm actually not 100% for sure. However I think you'd have to buy a mute according to the size of your cello.

K&K recommends their "Big Twin" system for the cello. It appears to be similar to this, but I believe the transducers are larger in diameter. The transducers will be placed, on under each outside bridge foot. The transducers are thin enough that playability should not be affected at all.

Hello Catherine: it is a nice fold up padded case. The instrument it is worth the price in terms of quality. I certainly recommended it.

What are you looking for. How much spring or what? My violin went from a 1915 to the one we purchased my violin is happy in its new home. It has no complaints.

There are only four strings and the neck is a lot thinner. There is a collection of books showing cords for the beginner and also a separate little cord book that is very handy. I think you will like it a lot. I had trouble with a guitar because my hands are small and I found this a lot easier to play. This one is made out of the good and proper wood for the instrument and has a nice mellow tone. I guess you can send it back if you don't like it. But I think it is a good instrument.

I don't know. But I have to say that it is a SHOCKINGLY nice violin. The sound quality and resonance are so beautiful it totally knocked our socks off. My sons violin teacher could not believe it was so cheap. Really, it is a very nice instrument. The sound is very rich. I am impressed. I would recommend it to anyone.

The cello doesn't touch the back of the stand. It sits on the padded sides and the neck is on the holder. There is no issue.

It IS a concert. My expert music buddy took one look at it & proclaimed it, Concert. Amazon should have measurements that verify this. If you need me to, l will measure mine. Trust me - it is a Concert size. My friend owns 20 or so ukuleles + many other instruments & is incredibly knowledgeable. I own 6 & none are sopranos.

Yes. Unrelated - the fine tuner on mine was broken right out of the box. I didn't notice right away as I waited awhile to play it. Other than that it's a beautiful sounding and looking violin.

I haven't had any problems with this violin. Had it for a month now. It is way better than I thought it would be for the price. So yes it's a quality instrument for a beginner.

The guitar is beautiful and built well. It is a good guitar for a beginner. I bought it for my wife, she is just learning to play. Put better strings on it. Well worth it.

No. The cello is "normal" weight. I would guess that it weighs about 8 pounds. The additional items that come with the cello add to its shipping weight.

It comes with a basic curved violin bridge, as oppose to a fiddle bridge. I believe mine also came with an extra bridge. Some of the reviews suggested that it was not put together and that you would have to take it to a luthier, but mine was ready to play.
