NS Design WAV 4 String Cello- Trans Red or Trans Black
FOR THE CELLIST VENTURING INTO THE WORLD OF THE ELECTRIC, this instrument offers a combination of design, performance, and affordability exceeding any other instrument in its class. Compact and light (4.5 pounds!), the WAV cello is a pleasure to travel with, but this instrument could be more lightweight in terms of features and performance. True to the NS tradition, the WAV captures the essence of an acoustic yet opens up an exciting range of new possibilities.
With electronics fully based around the NS patented Polar™ Pickup System, the WAV provides an amazingly natural cello tone, with freedom from feedback and wolf tones. Since 100% of the sound comes via the pickup, looping and other electronic effects are easy and far more effective than with an amplified acoustic.
The body design allows effortless access to the full range of the fingerboard and unparalleled freedom of movement on stage. The special asymmetrical fingerboard relief, a hallmark of all NS bowed electrics, provides extraordinary playability from the lowest to the highest positions. To suit individual player preferences, the string heights can be modified via remarkably simple bridge height adjustment, and the fingerboard relief can be modified using the readily accessible two-way truss rod.
The WAV cello is available in 4 or 5-string models with a variety of colour options. All models are shown with Rosewood Fingerboard.
FEATURES
NS Electric Strings and most traditional acoustic strings fit all NS Cellos, allowing the player to select from a wide range, each with a unique sound feel. In combination with the easy adjustment of basic set-up parameters, the WAV cello is adaptable to a nearly limitless range of music styles.
A fully adjustable cello tripod stand can be used seated or standing. The optional Cello End Pin Stand provides the seated cellist with familiar points of thigh contact and position. The optional Boomerang™ Strap System and The Frame Strap System allow the cellist to stand up with full mobility for a new experience of freedom and expression. An escutcheon pin on the neck, corresponding to the location of the heel on an acoustic cello, is standard; a more conventional wooden neck heel is also available for installation.
The WAV electric cello brings unprecedented affordability to players interested in world-class design, craftsmanship, and performance. With a visual appearance as striking as its sound, the roadworthy WAV is an exciting and reliable partner for the most demanding performance career.
