How It All Began
The Cobra was first developed in the mid-1980s when Wood was looking for a way to expand the sound capabilities of the traditional cello. He wanted to create an instrument that was capable of producing a wide range of sounds, from classical to jazz and everything in between. After several years of research and development, the Cobra was born.
Since its launch, the Cobra has become a popular choice among cellists. It has been used by a variety of musicians, including renowned cellists Yo-Yo Ma and Trilok Gurtu, as well as jazz greats John Patitucci and Dave Holland. It has also been featured in numerous films, television shows, and video games, including The Lord of the Rings, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and the Mass Effect series.
Advantages and Benefits
One of the main benefits of the Cobra is its ability to produce a wide range of sounds, including sounds that are not possible with traditional acoustic cellos. This makes it ideal for those who want to explore new avenues of music.
Cobra is also incredibly lightweight and compact, making it easy to transport. It is also incredibly durable. Its frame is made of a strong and durable material, which allows it to withstand a variety of conditions. This makes it ideal for those who are looking for an instrument that can withstand the rigours of touring.
