Procuring a cello
My daughter has decided that the cello is her instrument of choice in fifth grade orchestra. I, of course have zero clue about the cello and so I beseech the collective genious (sic) of the Planet for answers. I'm assuming that the best route to go is a rental until we decide if she's going to stick with it. I've been quoted $35/month for rental with one years rent allowed to accumulate into equity on a purchase. Is this a good/standard deal? Any other input would be helpful.

Not at all, Mr. SNR. Feel free. Although, I did think my pun was sufficient since Mr. JimNasium's daughter is a child and Bill Cosby has frequently noted that kids love Instant Cello.

I was thinking, however, that if Mr. JimNasium's daughter is, for some reason, insincere about this new avocation and doesn't practice, he could decorate a small room with Italian Renaissance prints, put iron bars on the door and, as punishment, put her in the homemade cell-o.

And it makes a great deal of difference which instrument you get. To get the real benefit you should look for a private teacher. Ask the rental store to let you take a couple of different ones over several lessons and let the teacher see which one is easiest in getting a good sound. Otherwise take the instructor with you with the bonus of a nice dinner to try them out. (Many times it is just an adjustment to the sound peg that can make a big difference.)

A cello can be an investment. (I have 100,000 invested in three violins, two cellos and a bass and the Steinway.) But ALL of the instruments have increased in value.

As an example what a good instrument provides, my daughter's violin teacher asked her to play way up on the neck to see how bad the sound could be as he did so on his own violin. After playing the professor turned to my wife and said, "You gave her too good a violin."
Yep. A friend of mine is an eye surgeon. Makes great money. He's also a former music major in college and is principal violist in the local symphony orchestra.

He's living his dream right now. He's a musician with buttloads of money to spend on his music. Get this: he owns roughly $500,000 worth of violin and viola BOWS. The instruments he owns total out at around $1.5 million.

What's great about this is when the aspiring students make it through the long years of school orchestras, he helps them out a lot. He's let students borrow his best bows/instruments for all performance occasions, and a few times he's "borrowed" them to students and said, "feel free to return it to me when you're done using it." In other words, these instruments worth tens of thousands are being handed out.

He's really got it made. He calls his eye surgeon job his "day job that pays for his real career."

A common problem parents have with children starting an instrument is the inattentiveness of children. Children often forget their instruments or leave them unattended. Perhaps you should do the right thing and help teach one of those kids a lesson.

There have to be a few drug addicts who pawn their cellos for crack money, too.
