The Cello is an instrument that is renowned for being large and expensive; a nightmare for anyone gigging that wants that cello sound, 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 smaller package. With a custom designed Piezo pickup and both volume and bass EQ controls, you will be able to get 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 full Size Electric Cello by Gear4music is constructed of high quality materials, making sure this instrument is built to last, with a great sound that can improve over time. Mainly crafted from Linden, an extremely lightweight wood, the body offers a sweet tonal quality that is complimented by a maple bridge, maple neck and carbon fibre tailpiece. Also featuring sapodilla fittings; the chinrest, tuning pegs and tailpiece behave in a similar way to ebony when being used a tone wood, that is known for its classic sound.
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 a aux in. The sensitivity of the pick up combined with adjustable bass and treble, carries this instument 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 are ideal for beginners due to their quick response, stable pitch and long life. The strings' coloured silk wrappings help students with identification and provide friction against the 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 hardwood bow, hard case and rosin so the learner has everything they need to get started straight away. The included bow is reliable and easy to use. It's crafted from hardwood - a favourite for bow construction because of its density and durability. The synthetic horsehair on the bow is ideal for many beginners 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.
