I needed this for quieter practice around the family, and it’s meeting that need perfectly. We have hardwood floors w/ no carpeting, so sounds really carry. Daughter’s room is right beside mine, and she wasn’t aware at all that I practiced on the Stagg with headphones for over an hour. After a practice session, I do check the pegs to see if tuning needs another slight tweak, which they sometimes do. Mostly they stay put though. There’s always peg drops or my local string shop if that ever becomes more of an issue. The sound’s not exactly like my nice wooden cello of course— but I didn’t expect or need that anyway. I just needed quiet. The leg supports need a firm tight screw-in to be secure & not wobble slightly while playing, and it may have felt different to me when I first sat down w/ it, but once a I started playing, didn’t notice that at all.... I felt comfortable. The only thing I would ask the designers to improve upon is make it even lighter in weight (I have a lower back thing), but I think it’s light compared to other popular— and WAY more expensive— electric cellos. At the end of the day, I’m VERY glad I spent $400+ on the used Stagg rather than almost $2,000 on the basic Yamaha electric cello. Soon I’ll add a nice amp & maybe have fun with some sound effects/looping... but right now it’s allowing me to silently repeat repeat repeat on tedious Popper studies & Bach. 👍🏼Read full review

Good tone and quality especially for the price. Nice for practicing silently (or mostly silent) as well. I recommend putting higher quality strings on it and using a decent bow.
