NS Design CR 5 String Cello- No fretted fingerboard, only

Please check stock availability by calling Animato Strings on 07 3876 3877

THE CR ELECTRIC CELLO The NS Cello, designed by Ned Steinberger, is available in the affordable CR Series. This remarkable instrument, available with 4, 5, or 6 strings, can produce its acoustic parent's delicate and precise tones and create exciting new sounds through the tone-shaping geometry of its innovative Polar™ piezo pickup system.

Interchangeable support systems provide new performance options. A fully adjustable tripod stand can be used seated or standing. The inventive Boomerang™ Strap System and Frame Strap System allow full mobility, while the conventional Cello End Pin Stand provides the traditional cello contact and position points.

Using standard cello strings and scale length establishes a familiar starting point for the cellist's journey to the electric world. From there, anything goes. The energetic response of the NS Cello can be tamed to deliver a traditional cello tone or set loose to explore new territory.

SOLID MAPLE BODY AND NECK: The CR Cello is crafted of European maple with a flame maple face. This solid-body design develops a rich multi-dimensional tone free from the constraints inherent in an acoustic instrument. The traditional cello scale length and neck shape are familiar, while the small body allows full access to the upper register. The brass escutcheon pin on the rear of the neck serves as a reference point corresponding to the heel of an acoustic cello. Solid construction provides structural stability to resist changes in temperature and humidity.

FINGERBOARD: The fingerboard is expertly graduated with an asymmetric profile to ensure that each note is even and buzz-free. An adjustable truss rod allows precise relief adjustment for different strings and playing styles. A cascading dot pattern across the neck accurately references a position.

BRIDGE PICKUP: The Polar bridge-mounted piezo pickup system responds selectively to either vertical vibration (for the sustained plucked sound, like an electric bass guitar) or lateral vibration (for dynamic bowing and a percussive plucked sound).

ACTIVE ELECTRONICS: The dual mode preamp allows players to choose between two distinct tone qualities.

The first mode delivers the full frequency response of modern low-impedance electronics for a rich, full-blown "electric" sound.
The second is balanced to produce the frequency response of the traditional cello for a more "acoustic" sound.

A three-way toggle switch allows players to select the desired pickup and electronics options. Additional controls include volume and individual bass EQ & treble EQ controls.

The Polar™ Pickup System: As a player, you may not think about the direction your strings are vibrating or even be aware that string vibrations on a musical instrument are polarized in relation to the fingerboard and the motion of the plectrum and bow. Yet direction is one of the most significant factors influencing the tone and response of a stringed instrument. In fact, instruments from the violin family are largely different from the lute or guitar due to the effects of string polarization.

**Please Note: CR Series Cello comes standard with a tripod stand. The Endpin stands, conversation kits, and straps are extra.
