The Gear4music Student 1/2 Size Cello in Blue is the budget pick at £200; the Stentor Harlequin Cello Outfit in Purple at £429 is worth comparing if you want an outfit. Have a teacher confirm that half-size is the right fit before buying.
For keeping the initial spend down, the Gear4music Student 1/2 Size Cello is the sensible starting point here. Its listed best new price is £200, but check what is included before budgeting for a bow, case or other essentials.
