The cello sounds fine - especially for a beginner player.

I did notice what sounds like side to side wandering, but I couldn't tell if that was due to the player moving around, the miking, or intentional slight panning.

Yeah, she was pretty good for a beginner huh? I'm sure your being quite a skilled cellist you can hear those few squeaks I noticed. On top of her being quite new to the instrument, it was also her first recording session.

About the "side to side wandering"...It is intentionally automated to be louder when the vocals drop, and drop when the vocals come in...though perhaps there was a bit of her moving as well. I think it all plays a role. As I said, her 1st recording session...

I want to reiterate that you all made me feel confident going into the session with your suggestions/advice. Much appreciated again.

The mics used were:
-EV RE-20
-Oktava MK012s "Dorsey" in XY,
-KSM44

All going through the Focusrite Red 1
