The Electric Cello features a newly designed resonating chamber, producing the most realistic acoustic-like tones and resonating sound. It is easy to transport because of foldable knee supports. The sound is brighter than before but still is very warm and natural. It is indeed close to a full-bodied acoustic tone when played through a properly matched amplifier. The body preserves all the contact points of a normal cello - especially the heel of the neck, which is an important reference point for shifting to the higher positions. The tone is excellent, and the built-in reverb warms up your sound.
