What should I check before buying a Primavera cello for a child?

For a young beginner, getting the fit right matters more than choosing by brand alone. Ask their teacher to confirm the appropriate cello size before buying the Primavera 100 Cello Outfit 1/8, listed from £479 new.

Check the outfit’s contents with the seller rather than assuming which accessories are included. It’s also worth asking whether the cello arrives set up and ready to play.

The Primavera Composite Cello Bow Round 1/4 is listed separately from £54 new. Its stated size differs from the 1/8 cello, so don’t assume they make a suitable pair; have the teacher confirm the bow size too.
