mezzo-forte 'EvoLine' Acoustic/Electric Carbon Fiber 4/4 Cello

These cellos have a very even and stable temperament, rarely posing issues like pesky wolf tones. Unaffected by extreme climate changes and impervious to water, these are great instruments for those who have to deal with everything from outdoor performances to long periods of traveling. Three years of intensive research and development have produced an absolutely stunning carbon fiber cello. 

This cello is setup with a set of Versum strings.  If you would like a hard case, contact us before you order the cello. 

All instruments come with a certificate of authenticity and a unique serial number which makes them easy to identify.

From the maker:

The response comes without resistance. You start the note and it is there, in pianissimo, on the C string, on a cold morning. Doing and feeling sit closer together than you are used to, and that is the point where any hesitation goes.

The tone is warm and singing, with a wealth of overtones that leaves room for shaping. High on the A string it turns lyrical and radiant, and the instrument responds sensitively to bow speed and contact point. It does not saturate when you really give it everything.

The pickup

The Cordasonus pickup is built in. No retrofitting, no glue, no box on the body. A proprietary treated crystal from a German ceramics technology company sits in the bridge and registers pressure changes there and nothing else.

Acoustically this changes nothing. Unplugged, the instrument sounds exactly like one without a pickup.

Amplified you get a natural tone without the hardness of conventional piezo systems, a frequency response from 10 Hz to 80 kHz and low feedback sensitivity. Connects through a 6.3 mm jack, no battery.

And one particular feature: the pickup rotates in the bridge. In 45 degree steps you change the tonal character, mid-performance, with no tools and no equalizer.

What it is made of

Carbon fiber is pure carbon, drawn into filaments seven thousandths of a millimetre across. A material that was reserved for aerospace for decades. We build violins from it.
