Lost my passion for playing guitar. Most of the music is just too easy to play. No satisfaction after learning a song in a day, decided to try and play classical music on it and it just doesn't fit the bill. Moonlight sonata, the Bach cello suites, Four Seasons, the generics that typically sound refreshing no matter how many times played failed to incite emotional response on my guitars.
Decided to pick up a classical string instrument, or maybe something /mu/ recommends.
Currently holding $2,500 to buy said instrument/related accessories. I'm eyeing a nice Cello, Bow, Hard Case and accessories right now.
Any recommendations? The Cello is well built. spruce top, maple back and sides, ebony fingerboard, ebony fittings, Composite tailpiece with built in tuners (basically higher end plastic) carbon fiber end pin. Beautiful varnish. Was considering a composite bow but I think I'll stick to classic Brazil wood. Resin and extra hairs as a backup, I think I'll get the composite as a backup.
Learning a string instrument is a miserable experience without a private tutor.

I have a private tutor in the local area. $60 a session for 12 weeks. Degree's from local Universities, teaches music classes as a day time job to K-12 students. Looking forward to it, she's really nice.
>tfw no carbon fiber cello that costs $7,000
I play 'cello and I definitely recommend it, either that or the viola. I'm learning the harp at the moment and the world is always short on harpists so if you have room for one, go down that path.
Idiophones
Membranophones
Chordophones
Aerophones
Doubles pick the choice

Sounds interesting, thanks anon. Any advice to a beginner? I can read music, am familiar with theory.
Harp sounds like a different beast but exciting nonetheless. I'll look into it but I'm definitely leaning to Cello right now.

Hey now if I wanted some random /a/tier shitposter to force me to learn an instrument I've never heard of I'd post on /v/ or /b/.
I play cello, and it's definitely the most user friendly of the strings.
I'd recommend it. A hard case isn't absolutely necessary, so if you can get a cheaper case and a nicer cello, i'd go for that.

Any particular reason you find it satisfying? Does it just feel good?
>tfw want to learn the recorder

>>63252600
Aren't you supposed to buy them all? Isn't that why they're so cheap compared to other instruments?
