Question: Cello Size!?
And so the search continues!

For a person that is about 5'6, should I consider full size cello!? Or another size!?

I'd appreciate any real answer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, your height definitely puts you in need of a full size cello!.

I'm guessing you're on the hunt for a cello!.!.!.If you are a beginner, it would be better if you go to a trusted shop that specializes in stringed instruments, instead of ordering one online or by mail!. One particular reason is that you would be guided in the buying process, but also, I have heard of some buyers being able to "trade in" the instrument they bought from the shop and getting a discount for the next instrument!. (This may not be the case for all instrument shops, but you can always ask around!)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, it depends how well the person is playing!. if the person is advanced, the sound of a full size cello is always very helpful!. However, considering the person is 5'6, a full size cello would defiantly fit them better more then a 3/4 size one!.
