The problem with the video is that he purposely plays the 2nd cello out of tune and with less bow weight. He was making the 2nd cello sound worse on purpose.
Some of the comments here are so dumb! Yes! In the hands of a pro cellist you get the most out of any cello but what pro cellist is going to waste his or her time grappling with a poorly manufactured cello that 100% of the time isnt going to be easy. Furthermore the sound on the higher notes are not going to be defined.
It's not really fair to compare a cheap $200 beginner's cello with one that typically cost more than a new Mercedes. Are there and 'good' ones under $5000?
That's actually insane how bad that cheaper one sounds. After playing for a while, this really stands out now. Starting to notice a lot of poor tendencies that my own $1,500 cello has. Someday I'll be able to afford an actual cello. T_T
Beautiful Tones on Cello vs. Violin: My Knilling Cello has a beautiful tone. As a child I played the violin. I was gifted the Cello and am finally learning to play music on it. I am noticing the beautiful tones on the Cello - even the open strings sound beautiful. When I was a kid I almost never played open strings on the Violin. I do not remember the Violin having beautiful tones on the open strings. Vibrato greatly improved the sound quality on the Violin.
The cheap cello should have been tuned!!! It being out of tune could be very misleading to some people who don’t have more extensive knowledge because of the brains natural negative response towards dissonance!
Your cello definitely sounds better and is much prettier. 💖 But the Chinese cello is still good for learning. I'm guessing the price difference is a few hundred dollars versus thousands of dollars. I own a Chinese cello and love mine. It's a hobby and I don't expect to ever make money from playing, but it's fun and having a cheaper option allowed me to afford it. 😎
Exactly. I was stunned by this and only this. It's the intonation on that cheap one that's terrible; not a huge difference in tone. Though I understand how having to exert more effort to get the same amount of sound would be annoying.
Chinese manufactured cellos aren't all bad. In fact, I once considered buying one from my local violin shop that was made with maple, spruce, and ebony. It was actually a pretty decent cello, but, I fell in love with a workshop cello from Bubenruth, Germany, which I still play 14 years later, and I plan to keep playing it until the day I die. On the other hand, a good friend of mine plays a Chinese manufactured cello, and it works just fine for her. She loves it as much as I love mine. So, bottom line, the "bad" cello is the one that doesn't work for you. Although its quality is certainly lacking, the Chinese cello pictured in this video most certainly could help a beginner get started.
i think the bad cello still sounds pretty good. No wonder my teacher keep saying my student cello is fine, which I think I need a better cello. My teacher is a professional player at Vancouver Symphony Orchestra with a Ph.D.
The two instruments are tuned differently. A cello itself sounds different if it is not well tuned. Why doesn't it bother you? So this test is not worth much.
I think there are three main things that affect the quality of the cello; 1. The bows quality 2. The size of the cello, (a greater sized cello will produce a nicer sound) 3. The quality of the cello. read John Campbell's comment down below for a good explanation PS: and the bridge but that in my opinion is a must
The more expensive one does sound more "open", but then again you'd have to use the same make of strings on both instruments. I know what an improvement higher-quality strings can bring. If the strings would snap on the cheap cello if raised to 440, then the strings are bad or else there's some problem with the tailpiece, bridge or nut.
1750 cello from Italy probably worth about $200k or more ..vs $100 cello from China... got to admit.. the 100$ cello delivers a massive bang for the buck. ( unless the differences are totally muted in this recording)
Did the celloes have similar strings?
That was pretty awesome!
The cheap cello is out of tune. 👍🏻 Also we are hearing your fancy bow when you play with the cheap cello, that's why it sounds good. 👍🏻
perhaps the soundpost is too tight or in the wrong place on the new instrument.
Just tune the second cello and they would sound the same to me.

How much good cello?

Yeah yeah yeah. I think there's quite enough snobbery in strings. Some of us drive a Kia and some drive a Rolls. The point???
I always feel like Italian cellos have nicer lower registers than higher registers (not including Strads, he borrowed from the French models)

Very nice! I just bought a "cheap" cello (total beginner). What is the purpose of the cloth between the tail piece and the body of the cello?
Cheap or expensive cello, it's depend on how the user play.

Not ring higher note
Comparison between a good and a bad cellIST owwwwwwww im kidding sorry...
So talkative

...dovresti accordare entrambi gli strumenti alla stessa frequenza di riferimento...
I feel like the Chinese made cello sound more like a viola

No offense, but I kinda don't like the sound of the antique cello
I love this - he plays the concerto so well. It’s an intelligent video 👍

So you have a student who owns a cello that breaks when tuned up to pitch? Boy, that's like having a car whose engine will blow up at city speeds...

I can tell a huge difference, the old cello is much more crisp and louder

I can't understand why there here are so much haters.

To be fair. The price can be 100 times different, but the sound effect is not 100 times different.
What about the strings,are they both same strings?! Strings effects on sound too
samet polat şaşırtın beni reis, Türk beklemiyordum burada
@@tunc.violin neden beklemiyordun
The Chinese cello sounds Chinese haha that’s funny
2nd cello sounded flat
I donot know what you are talking about. However the cheap cello sounds pretty good to me. LOL.
You can buy a cheap cello but buy really good strings and bow makes all the difference. But great playing though

Did He say that the Cellos had the same strings? if not that would change the sound I think.
Sorry, my friend. You're not ready to be a teacher. You have a lot more to learn about the cello technique
1750 cello from Italy probably worth about $200k or more ..vs $100 cello from China... got to admit.. the 100$ cello delivers a massive bang for the buck. ( unless the differences are totally muted in this recording)
Можно было настроить хотя бы их одинаково уже не просим чисто. Вообщем одна другой стоит.
Is it in Singapore?
*affordable cello vs expensive cello. I played for 15 years and my most expensive cello was $1200
You can hear tin sound in the cheap cello.
What do you guys think? Did he play both cellos with equal effort? I felt sort of felt he was bias towards the less expensive cello.
