There must be a problem with the actual KZbin sound coming out: what I heard was quite the opposite ! The red Cecelio sounded very much acoustic while the NS sounded completely muffled. From using several electric violins I experienced, a lot depends on the pickups plus using IR devices, like the VSound !

Obviously the sound quality is everything and I know this can make a tremendous difference. I've heard others playing the same SC-210 you are playing here and it doesn't sound half as good as yours because your amp is so good. I'd like headphones that allow the same quality sound. I think the main effect you are using is available through the instrument itself, without an effect from the amp, right?

Turns out the yamaha comes with too much reverb already. And that the red cello which sounded the worse before mixing, sounded the closest to an actual cello, with some high harmonics instead of nasal. I bet all of them can be made to sound nice if you dedicate time to mixing and finding your own presets. Now considering the red is possibly the cheapest... That's what I'd take. And sandpaper to make it not-red!

It seems you may have stopped making videos, but I thought I might try asking my question here in case you haven't as you seem quite knowledgeable and I'm having trouble finding an answer to this question: For an adult beginner with significant background in another instrument (piano), how long do you think it takes to be able to make a basically good sound on the cello and how dependent is this on the instrument itself? When I think about why I want to learn, it's centrally about the captivatingly rich sound. But how long does it take to be able to make that sound? Or even a modestly good version of it? When I think about the decades I spent practicing piano and the high quality piano I have in my home today, it's completely different. You press the key and out comes the sound, and the quality is largely simply dependent on the instrument. If I am going to invest hundreds of hours learning a new instrument, I want to have realistic expectations on what it takes to produce that sound, the ability to play a simple melody but beautifully. And how much the instrument itself will impact this. If you need an expensive instrument (like this $3K electric cello you are playing on) to get that kind of sound, I would be wasting my time unless I was willing to invest in something like that I would think. And if it takes a year or two playing just to get a basically pretty sound, I want to know upfront. If you have time to answer, I would so deeply appreciate it.
@Dorette_Roos Жыл бұрын
Hi Tyler! Thank you for the message! Haha yes... I am a full time performing cellist and it takes so much of my time that I don't get to make YT videos. Sorry :) Instagram gets more of my attention! I should definitely attempt some more YT tutorials. Your questions is a very valid, but not simple to answer. A good sound depends mostly on a good bow arm technique. How well the bow is in contact with the string. And secondly on the quality of the instrument. Slow bow control - is an essential part of the learning process - is often neglected - and this is what give a good sound. Which can be attained from first few months even with simple pieces. I would actually suggest getting an acoustic cello for learning to produce a warm sound. It is only to be recreated on an electric instrument if you have the technique and sound in your ear. Your background will surely assist with learning notes and rhythms etc. which will help you focus on your bow. If you focus on a good bow technique with your teacher then you can create a good sound from the beginning. Do not compromise the sound to get the notes or rhythm to work... But patience will be your middle name! As the pieces get harder you will need better bow technique to have good sound on faster or tricker passages vs. long slow bows. A year or two would be a good gauge to keep developing bow contact technique to keep up with the repertoire as you develop. I hope this makes sense? x

@@Dorette_Roos I feel so grateful that you would even reply to me! Much more that you would reply so thoroughly and with such detail. Thank you very much! So I'm hearing you say that the technique end of the sound quality can be attained in maybe a few months of practice? Or are you saying that it takes 1-2 years to get a basically good sound? If it only takes a few months to get a basically good sound with the right attention, practice, and instruction, then that's super exciting! If it's 1-2 years, that's more what I would have guessed and is a bit discouraging. Also, you said that the instrument itself matters, but how much. Like is it the kind of thing where someone shouldn't expect to hear that beautiful cello sound unless they spend a few thousand dollars on their instrument? I just want to be realistic with my expectations if I'm going to invest in this way. Thank you again so much for answering! And if you don't have any more time, I totally understand.

@@tylersterling1786 I'm not Dorette, but...is there a violin shop near you where you could rent a cello for a few months? You could try out instruments at different price points, then evaluate your progress after a few months and see if you are happy with how quickly you are progressing. If you are, then many shops (at least where I live, not sure about elsewhere) will apply at least part of your rental fee towards the purchase of an instrument.

I am thinking about this cello for a few reasons one getting the frame strap I have a rather large brace on my leg, so holding cello with my knees is an issue, even letting it rest on the left side I can't tell if it is there or not. I also have issues sitting for long term, about 30 minutes I need to move a lot or get up. So looking at the review you posted I wanted more. What amp are you using for practice?
