........And this little Cello stayed home...
This Cello sounded good
And this little Cello had chipped wood
And my little Cello is going wee-wee-wee back to Amazon in the morning 
I am very bummed, of course what did I expect for $199.00?
I watched a youtube video to set the bridge~Check
Taped my first position onto neck ( Im new at Cello)
I watched another video to rosen the bow~check
I watched another video to tune it- CHECK...AWWW NO....The pegs would not hold the strings in place.
THEN I noticed chipped wood by the tailpiece, Crap.
I am not giving up. Sending this one back and going to rent one for awhile. Still I felt like a kid in a candy store when it arrived today
As this relates to smoking:
This woman smoked cigarettes~ 7 days a week
And this little woman QUIT
This woman smoked for every good and bad reason on the earth
And this little woman found EX
Now this woman say no-no-no-no and will NEVER smoke again.
Lesson learned on BOTH ACCOUNTS!
Go buy a used Madavarious! I hear they have plenty.
Have you ever had an instrument with friction pegs?
I have a Flamenco guitar with rosewood friction pegs.
Maybe it's a strength thing Missy?
You usually have to go past tune and then bring them down to pitch from my experience and I just don't have the strength to do the friction pegs anymore.
I bought some mechanical planetary gear pegs for it for $180 I think.
I haven't put them in yet. 
These have planetary gears inside
I was being funny with the Madavarius, yes.
