Step 1
Determine how much you can spend on your new electric cello. Stick to your budget but get the instrument that suits you the best.
-
Step 2
Measure yourself because you need to know what size cello to buy. Music stores have charts that you will follow where you check your measurements against the size of the instrument. Measuring goes by age, height and body length.
-
Step 3
Peruse classified ads, local listings, Internet sites and music stores for the best price available for either a new or used instrument.
-
Step 4
Maintain your integrity and certainty about your purchase by bringing along a fellow electric cello master who knows what to look for in such an instrument. Let him help you decide which instrument to buy.

Step 5
Check for the accuracy of the sizing by setting the endpin at 12 inches. Sit at a 45 degree angle - the cello should rest on the chest and the C string peg needs to be at or near the left ear.
