where can i use a cello for free/cheap? 16/f/south Africa
I really want to play the cello and today i found out my best friends music teacher at school borrowed her cello to my friend for free for the holidays. My school isnt big and we dont have instruments, only a piano. Does anyone know/have ideas on where i can get a cello to borrow for a while so i can learn? Cellos are crazy expensive and we cant afford one.

I do not know the expense in your country for renting one, so if you haven't checked with the stores that sell new ones, check see if they also rent out their older models because thats what we did for our daughter when she needed an instrument.
The only other things I can think of but not how to go about it, is to find a way to track down other music students who have finished High school and are no longer interested much in playing.
If there are music teachers not associated with the school, you might ask them if they teach cello and if they know of past students who might loan theirs out or rent for inexpensive.
Lastly, I do not know if there are inexpensive classified ads type papers to search under Music to see who might be renting or selling for low ocst or if there is some on the internet ad place for your local area to find if anyone has an ad about cello or you might be able to post an ad that says you are looking for a cello to rent and name the price you know the parents can afford. Someone reading the ads may have one sitting around and not being used and like the idea of making a small amount of extra money. ]
