This instrument have good sound,if you change strings. I bought strings Larsen Canon and thound will be like Yamaha cello.
Cheap, cheerful and Cello like!
I've been wanting to take up Cello for quite some time but have never had the space or capital to actually make a purchase. I decided to take the plunge and go for the HB e-Cello (in white).
It arrived promptly, packaged well with plenty of bubble wrap. I was slightly nervous when unboxing. It comes in a disassembled state, strings are attached but loose and under the fingerboard. The thigh/back rests come in a pocket on the front of the "gig bag". Removing the headstock (box?) was a little tricky with the shape. The bag itself is a bit flimsy (I've got another case coming which'll mean I won't need to disassemble every time I want to travel with it).
Setup is straight forwards, couple of screw pins keep the rests in place, strings are easy to tune/fine tune and tuning pegs stay put. Comes with a bow but no rosin.
The onboard preamp appears to be decent enough, I was expecting issues with this but as far as I can tell there's no unwanted hisses or additional noise. There's an aux input for silent practice and a 1/4" jack headphone/amp output with a switch to go between the two (db cut). Also slide EQ/Volume which appears to be quite responsive.
So far I've been able to make some very cello like noises!
Overall I'm very impressed with it and would recommend to a beginner looking to pick up Cello for a fantastic price point.
