<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 3059872, member: 55&quot;]Cellos are pretty expensive in general, so even a Korean or Chinese-made student model might be worth in the thousands...perhaps.</p><p>It really is not possible to evaluate string instruments in the way one would a guitar for example....</p><p>Like if you told me you had a 1963 Martin 0-18 (dated from the serial number) I could tell you it was worth $1500 to $2500 depending on condition.… but a cello or violin, not the same.&nbsp; As Aaron mentioned, you should take it to a reputable string-instrument shop.&nbsp; There is a list of such shops if you are in the US, at <a href="https://www.afvbm.org/american-federation-of-violin-and-bowmakers-member-directory" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.afvbm.org/american-federation-of-violin-and-bowmakers-member-directory" rel="nofollow">https://www.afvbm.org/american-federation-of-violin-and-bowmakers-member-directory</a></p><p>(hard cello cases can be darn expensive, starting around $500 for decent quality, so it is pretty common for student-grade instruments to have soft cases; but certainly an expensive instrument would likely have an expensive hard case).</p><p>And Brian&#039;s link may be spot-on; but that company may also make instruments in a wide variety of grades.&nbsp; Get thee to a luthier....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
