How about picking out a student cello?!

This is really good information Bassdad. Thank you. I hadn’t thought about the cello being damaged, which is, of course, a possibility. DD is very careful, but even last year, her rental got a major scratch from some other kid’s carelessness, and was bumped around a bit at school.

Perhaps with my daughter and the other kids in the orchestra being so young, it does make sense to rent another year and see how it goes. I will call Weenie’s company too, and do some more thinking.

I really appreciate the advice.
