SVC 50 Silent Cello : Powerful yet elegant

Bought the cello a few months ago and have been experimenting with it non stop. It is a perfect companion for a cellist who wants to play something a bit more modern. The sound is very high quality yet has a unique tone and an elegant look to it.

Pros: The sound of a typical piezo cello pickup comes nowhere near the quality of this electric cello. Currently I am doing non-classical music concerts with it and it solves a lot of problems that I had with an acoustic cello. It is easier to set up, doesn't get feedback in the monitors and works better with pedalboards. It is also easier to transport as it's parts are detachable and fit into a small gig bag.

Cons: At first it is a bit weird to play in loud environments because you don't feel the resonance of the body and you have to have a monitor or in-ear monitor to actually hear yourself in concerts, even in quiet pieces. But you get used to it. Also the strings that come with it are not the best ones, I would recommend replacing them.

But still, so far this has been one of the best purchases I've made!
