Three years ago I bought my husband a 'practice student' cello, used. It's been sitting in its case all that time. My granddaughter age 14 proposed possibly learning violin. I said Hey why not the cello... so I came to CZcams looking for a way to tune it. (I do play guitar, dulcimer and banjo so I'm comfortable with tuning) I downloaded the app suggested (great app by the way). I tuned the cello!! WOW Thank you. So I went further and purchased the 30 day program, I'm almost 70 and retired so why not! However small note in tuning you did not mention rosin. I did see on the notes to use rosin before using the bow... tomorrow I'm going to town to purchase the rosin. THANK YOU so much for your method of teaching (spoken as an educator for 45 years) it's concise, clear and interesting.. .LOOKING forward to that resin to get started on learning step by step along with you.😊
Just found your channel. I rented my cello last week and have my first lesson next week. I’ve been over the internet looking at cello basics. Your taping video was the best. Straight nonsense and no need to purchase graph tape etc. Your Cello for Adults is just what I needed to hear at 67 yrs old. Each time I listen to a video you answer my questions! Thank you!
Oh YAAAY!!!! I finally got my cello in tune! All by myself! I knew about the pegs, but had no idea about the little screws.... Did not know they were also for tuning (fine tuning)! Thank you!!!
Hi! I'm Alayna! I'm so excited to watch more of ur videos. A little info bout me: I've been playing cello for two years now. I used to play bass, but it was not my thing and once I started playing cello I feel in love with it! Any tips for the future?
This definitely helps. I have a fear of touching the pegs, but I will overcome it - thanks for the help, Billy.
I’m 68 and just got a cello. I’m hoping I can even get it tuned!
as a beginner my biggest fear on cello by far is tuning with the pegs....snapping a string would be my worst nightmare.
I've been there and done that. Snapping a string is the worst, super loud and shocking!
Pegs r scary! I did exactly that, snapped the A string I think, b4 my 1st lesson, coz I thought I'd fiddle with the pegs!
I’ve heard horror stories about tuning with pegs, but I’ve been tuning my cello for 5 years and I’ve never had any issues.
@pakhoy8648 lmao just snapped my bottom string cause I thought I'd see if I can force it. Didn't know the bottom screws were tuners
Can’t unless you suck at cello

I’m a 37 year old that just picked it up and really appreciate these videos.
I'm so glad to hear it, and congrats on starting your cello journey!
I prefer the Peterson Strobe tuner
Thank you very much for the great explanation. It was very helpful
I just did the first tuning of my life. Thanks for the video.
My pleasure!

thank You !
Greetings, I could not find TE tuner on the App Store do you have a link by chancce
try searching "tonal energy" instead
InsTuner app is good
Bro just get to the tuning part😤
not a good instruction for real beginners, you don't name what each of the strings are, you don't explain "cents"
Bro I am not listening to the advice of a guy who’s using beginner stickers 😂
He said it was his students
As explained, it’s. Student’s cello! Apologize.
At 1:47 he explains that this is his student’s cello.
