This is the last of the original NXT series of Electric cellos. The NXT Series Cello opens up a new horizon for the serious cellist looking to play a great instrument on a limited budget. Pizzicato and arco techniques have almost unlimited expressive potential, thanks to the Polar™ Pickup System. A convenient switch allows the selection of the traditional arco mode for percussive attack and dynamic bowed response or pizzicato mode for a smooth, sustained ton.
The NXT offers some benefits which cellists, in particular, will greatly appreciate:
- Wolf tones—a major concern for acoustic cellists—do not occur on the electric instrument. Similarly, the NXT Cello will not give feedback in amplified performance settings, even at high volume.
- Polar Pickup: The Polar™ directional piezo pickup system responds selectively to lateral string vibration, for bowing and for the percussive plucked response of a traditional acoustic instrument, or to vertical string vibration, for a remarkable, even, and sustained plucked sound more like a guitar. A switch allows the player to choose the desired response.
- Electronics & Controls: Passive circuit with high impedance output. Volume control and Tone control (treble roll-off).
- Interchangeable Support Systems: A fully adjustable tripod stand can be used seated or standing. The optional End Pin Stand provides the traditional cello points of contact and position. It is the best choice for cellists with an animated style of playing while seated or playing the instrument at a more horizontal angle. The End Pin Stand conversion kit attaches to the tripod stand to hold the instrument upright for on-stand performance or when not used. The Frame Strap System allows the cellist to stand up with full mobility for a new experience of freedom and expression.
- Included: Padded gig bag and tripod Stand.
