98% of the so called German Cellos are premade Chinese cellos... I
even got a friend who just spend his time finding new Chinese cellos

I bought a Hoffner cello thinking it was German made, that is sad to
hear! Is there no intergerity left in this world?
Michael,
How did the retailer represent the country of origin for the cello?

A few years ago I started carrying some student guitars, and had the
choice of getting some Chinese made ones, or Spanish made, I got the
Spanish. They have held up extremely well, compared to some of the
horror stories I've heard about Chinese made guitars.
Two days ago, fellow brought by a Chinese factory made Smallman copy
guitar that had a huge crack down the soundboard.
