Yamaha SVC110 Silent Cello Full Size - Secondhand

Full Description

A portable cello

Moving your cello around has never been so simple. Weighing less than 4kg, it's a breeze to swing your Silent Cello up into your arms and onto a bus or plane. Your lightweight cello is ready to go wherever you go and deliver a consistent sound, making it perfect for touring. The slim design makes it as light as possible whilst still having the key shape points so it rests against your leg, shoulder, and arms in way you are familiar with. Or, you can play in a completely unfamiliar way. Some professional cellists decide to take their portable cello to the next level, customising shoulder rests so they can play the cello standing or whilst walking. This gives a cellist a whole new freedom on the stage.

Electric has perks

Experience the extensive benefits of going electric. Make use of your Aux-In, Line Out, and Headphone Jacks, using different functions depending on your circumstances or mood. For practice, headphones let you play in near silence. Practise in a new way with the ability to plug into your CD player and play along with recordings for fun and to hone your technique. On the other side of things, power up your cello. Project out the warm, natural tone of this Silent Cello, created by the resonating chamber, across any venue. Plugged into a P.A. system or an external audio system, the glory of this instrument will be heard. With an onboard reverb it will sound like you have impressive acoustics wherever you are. With three different reverb presets, it is up to you whether you sound like you're playing in a practice room, recital hall, or cathedral.
