I`ve decided to go for the cello instead of the oboe, and since the Orchestra director won`t let me borrow one of her cellos, and the music school doesnt have one (they only have contrabasses), I`ll have to buy one.

I came across these two:

I`m leaning more towards the first one. But I`d like an expert`s opinion.

AAH HAAAAAA!! READ WHAT`S ON THIS WEBSITE!!!

Q Where are your instruments manufactured?
A All of our instruments are manufactured in China. They are directly from our manufactory, that’s why we can offer those quality instruments at below wholesale price.

".....All of our instruments are manufactured in China......"


-That pretty much tells all, THEY ARE NOT ONLY CHEAP IN PRICE, BUT CHEAP IN QUALITY! DON`T BUY IT! I personally don`t trust things made in China, ESPECIALLY instrument`s that they sell for around $200 that usually sells for around $2000. HMMMMM, that`s VERY suspicious. On the frequently asked questions the guy said that they dont care about making profit:0:0:0:0:0, WHAT!!!!!

As for the second cello on your list, the guy says that

"...Online Guitar is a Proud to be an American Company!..."

And I say,


"Yah with cheap price/quality instruments made in foreign countries I bet,lol"



Like I said I don`t trust NEW cellos for sale for a few hundred dollars. Good American/German cellos aren`t worth a measly $300.

When I say foreign countries, I say (communist countries) like China.

just take my advice and pick the bassoon.... lol... ¬_¬ lol...

as for it being made in china, i don`t recommend you buy it. i`ve heard some great ones from chinese companies, but in general the bad outweighs the good. i don`t think being a communist country affects whether or not you make good instruments though, sean besides, china is becoming an economic powerhouse, and china is becoming less and less communist. it`s becoming like all the other capitalist countries, where there are the real poor and the real rich people ¬_¬ lol... anyways. i`m rambling. cya. hah...

pick the bassoon....

Why don`t you just do the contrabass? The second one you showed us seems very suspicious because it was taken in a garden. That might not matter but try contrabass or bassoon of course, since bassoon sounds really close to a cello

I know I`m rambling too, but China specialzes in triying to take ALL of our MONEY and ALL of our JOBS! Not only that, but giving us cheaply made stuff that breaks fast in return, that`s why I don`t like or trust chinese made stuff.

no offense sean, but china and all the developing countries take away the jobs you don`t want. they`re fine with being paid a bit less because they are satisfied with what they have. i`m sure your average american would hate to live the rest of his/her life working in a warehouse with no benefits... *sigh* that`s also why i don`t understand how people don`t want to give illegal immigrants a break. without them, everyone in america would work in an office (tertiary jobs in general) while no one would be working primary and secondary industries. america would collapse.

anyways it`s just best to buy from a brand you recognize

America complains too much... God, the Japan V.S. American war was cause the stupid Americans said "I don`t wanna give you gas anymore" or something like that for a stupid reason. Plus, Bush and his fellow retards are trying to take over the world while the Mr Powell person the security minister said that they shouldn`t do the Iraqi war, Bush rejected his ideas and did it anyways, just to get his dirty hands on the Iraqi gas+oils.! But, he failed, making the gas price go wayyyy high, now in Canada at around 90cents! I could just remember a few years ago when I was 9 or 10, it was like 60 cents! Jeez, making trouble to other countries too. Back to the topic... are you using any tupper-ware? Well, I guess about 95% of tupper-ware is made in China, and mostly everything else. Well, I think 30% of my spaz made sense, but just thank China for making all these things, but don`t buy much important things like instruments, because of you-know-why. God, I hate North-Korea...

Jay, Riki, China is Communist and Chinese people there are treated like $hit, so if you two think china is good then go live there! Oh and forget the fact that if you have twins (2 or more babies) and live in china then they will be murdered before there even born leaving you with only one child, it`s called birth control. The problem with you two is that you’re Communist. India is not much better either doing the same thing, except for the birth control thing. My mom works for Pensky and not too long ago, GE (general electric, a.k.a. democrats) bought out pensky stock, took control of the company, and fired lots of its employees that were paid well to end up giving their jobs to people in India that got paid little to nothing. Theres thousands of businesses with no little employees and almost no customers around the block from where I live, how can anybody buy anything when they give all of their money overseas. HA guess what, a long looooong time ago England was very very rich, so they didn`t think they needed to work anymore from having other people in other countries making stuff for them, after a while, their money dwindled away to nothing, and they went from being the richest country in the word to one of the most poor, miserable countries of the world.


That`s why I dont support China and their goods, well along with the fact that they make things cheaply and later on break, who wants that.

If you two or anybody else want to talk to me more about that, then just e-mail me.

erf... 8notes aint the place to carry out arguments like this...

i`ll lay it out plain and simple:

1) i am not a communist, i`ve never said i`m a communist, so it`s kind of ridiculous to make claims like that don`t you think?

2) actually china doesn`t murder your children if you have twins. they do take `em away though. it`s called adoption. this is obviously not the best solution, everyone should have the right to keep their child

3) i doubt england is one of the most poorest miserable countries in the world. it doesn`t take a rocket scientist to get that one...

You`re right, jay. And it`ll be a matter of time when Mr. Moderator comes along with his hammer. SMACK!

I said email me!!!!!!!!!!
