The Cello is an instrument that is renowned for being large and expensive; a nightmare for gigging, or anyone living where space is at a premium. The electric cello by Gear4music offers the same playing feel and sound as an acoustic cello, but in a much more transportable package.
With a custom designed Piezo pickup and controls for volume and EQ, you will can dial in the perfect cello sound. The cello also comes with a padded soft case, making it easy to transport between gigs and practices. The bodyless design ensures this electronic instrument is virtually noiseless when played acoustically, making it perfect for quiet practice with headphones and is free of feedback when plugged into loud systems.
The cello is crafted from Linden, an extremely lightweight wood - making it hugely easy to transport whilst also offering a sweet tonal quality. The maple bridge, maple neck and carbon fibre tailpiece are both structurally and acoustically sound, and the high quality fittings; a sapodilla fingerboard, ebony tuning pegs and carbon fibre tailpiece, all follow suit.
With a custom designed under-bridge pickup and 9V active preamp system, this cello also features volume and tone controls as well as a line out, headphone out and an aux in. The sensitivity of the pick up combined with adjustable bass and treble, carries this instrument from being almost inaudible to a stunningly resonant sound that you can enjoy with headphones. The versatile inputs and outputs makes this instrument perfect for silent practice at home, plugged into amplifiers and sound systems for performances and many more applications.
The included steel core strings provide quick response, stable pitch and long life. The strings' coloured silk wrappings help with identification and provide friction against the ebony pegs. The strong, carbon fibre tailpiece aids students and performers in achieving accurate tuning quickly and easily.
This electric cello is supplied as full outfit, with a brasilwood bow, hard case and rosin so the player has everything they need to get started straight away. The included bow is reliable and easy to use. It's crafted from brasilwood - a favourite for bow construction because of its density and durability. The synthetic horsehair on the bow is ideal for beginners and intermediates as it can withstand the stresses of a student developing proper technique.
The included case is ideal for transporting the instrument to lessons and performances. This durable but lightweight case is a perfect fit for the cello providing protection when out and about and safe storage. It is finished with a tough canvas covering, with zip opening and straps plus a pocket for keeping sheet music and other accessories safe.
