If you're wanting to learn Cello, here's my recommendation which I would definitely go with.

Be sure to pick up some moody incense while you're at it. It will make your playing sessions smell as good as they sound. Can you imagine a concert where the musicians would be burning incense at the same time as they're performing? I would go to that concert.

So I always loved learning new instruments and something about learning new things just sparks my interest a lot. That's why I thought I'd recommend this cello to you tonight.
Along with the Suzuki Method for learning the cello which is from what I've heard, a really solid technique for becoming proficient at this majestic and warm instrument with a sound so moody to touch the hearts of your listeners and leave your audience in a loud applause.
Something about the cello just makes my heart melt. It's a really cool instrument and it looks and sounds awesome. I would love to hear it a lot more and becoming a cello master is a dream come true for sure.
From my experience, I have some with the piano, having a book to teach you the fundamentals of an instrument is - fundamental - to impressing your friends and fam with this cool instrument. Either for yourself or as a gift, a cello is a perfect tool for spending time and you will know what it is to be a student of a really exquisite field which is music.
Maybe you know a kid who you want to teach about life - getting them this instrument and teaching them The Suzuki Method is a surefire way to have them also have a craft to depend upon as an adult who is dealing with a world that needs great musicians more than ever.
So doubt it not, and pick up your cello tonight. Along with the incense, of course.
Basically my story is that I got started with the piano and I started to learn it from a book. I learned from Hanon: The Virtuoso Pianist book and it really took my skills to another level and I have only progressed to about 10% deep in the book hahah.
Have fun folks, and remember, stay wild.
