Ned Steinberger 6 Stringed Cello

Product Features:

The NS Cello, available with 4, 5, or 6 strings, is able to produce the delicate and precise tones of its acoustic parent as well as to create exciting new sounds through the tone shaping geometry of its innovative Polar pickup system and dual-mode preamp. The onboard EQ and mixer provides full control of the electronics, so that the brilliant highs and deep lows possible with this remarkable instrument can be tamed to deliver a traditional tone, or set loose to explore new territory. The use of standard cello strings and scale length establishes a familiar starting point for the cellists' journey to the electric world. A small brass bump on the back of the neck marks the spot where the heel interrupts the neck on a conventional cello, yet allows unfettered access to the entire fingerboard. Discreet dot markers provide visual reference for accurate intonation. A headphone jack is provided for convenience. The NS Cello is made form solid rock maple for a rigid, durable, compact structure that is easy to transport. More importantly, the solid body construction eliminates the wolf tones that have cause problems for cellist for centuries, and at the same time controls the feedback problems faced by many players today. An adjustable truss rod in the neck controls fingerboard relief, and string height is adjustable, so it is easy to set up the NS Cello satisfy individual player preferences. Fully encased 18:1 worm gear tuning hardware insures precise, stable tuning. 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. The NS Strap System allows the cellist to stand up with full mobility for a new experience of freedom and expression.
