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 !

No prices no links no reference to what those cellos are and no names

Hi! Great Comparison! I think the unbranded red S one sounds the most realistic, I love it! Could you link me to exactly where you bought it please? I would LOVE to buy one! Thanks so much in advance! :D

Excellent review! Thanks for the information.

Thank you for the great comparison, especially taking it in context of the. price differences and their utility to different segments of artists (and aspiring artists!). Can you comment on what type of amp setup you would need for the lower end electric cello you reviewed here? Thank you!

I have an NS. I think the yamaha is better. I just use the NS to either rock out or practice silently😁

Very nice groove!

Dorette Roos // Electric Cello The Helicore Cello Strings actually have a Stranded Steel Core so they sound mellower.

I really like you bangs they look cool

Sounds beautiful!

the NS Design sounds muffled in all examples, and the Cecillio sounds a bit tinny. Question, though... did you use the stock strings that come with these cellos or switch them with a good set?

I'm 1.83cm, my end pin is not long enough lmao

The electric got much more bass with your amp settings but I think the main advantage of the electric cello is that you can dial in your tone with different amps, eq and effect pedals. The possibilities are infinite

What strings were used, all the same brand type?

What acoustic amp are you using?! It sounds AMAZING!!

Magnificent performance!! You should do more cello solo covers. Also, as a manicurist, I love the nail color you're wearing. Your nails look pretty. Red and silver go well with the theme of songs you cover. I'm getting carried away 😅. Anyway, would love to see more cello covers as well. Cheers!

Awesome!🎉

So talented!

Perfect rhythm for all ages

This e-cello sound good but looks ugly; sorry.

That black Cecelio is like a couple hundred bucks and when paired with my Spark amp it actually sounds incredible. Like blow your mind good for $300 😂

Could u tell me what was the piece at minute 3:45 please.

Thanks for the video, but which NS design are you reviewing? The CR4, NXTa, or WAV Series?

I added this on to my listening favorites. Thank you.😍

Hi Dorette- Thank you so much for being fair and balanced in this review. I'm a beginner who knows next to nothing about what to buy and this was helpful in making both short term and long term buying plans. I've researched a lot on this, and your video was by far the most fair and comprehensive. Thanks again for being you.- HR

You need to also mic your voice. I hear your playing fine, but your vocal is hard to understand. A little more volume on your vocal.

Hey - this is cool! A new inspiration for my own cello-playing - thanks a lot!

I have an NS bass, which I like and which I play con arco and pizz. However, in your demo, the NS-cello was for me very disappointing. I liked the 2nd Yamaha and the silvery one best in your presentation.

great cover❤❤

Hi great review on this cello but I have not a great budget would you like to recommend me a good one to get

Thank you for the informative video! I’ve purchased an electric acoustic cello, and I’m trying to navigate it lol, most ppl have one or the other! If you have time to answer (you must be busy!) what sort of set up would you recommend for beginners on electric? I think I need a preamp, headphones and a small amp, but I’m so lost haha, I can’t even pick the headphones! x

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!

Absolutely amazing

HI, Don't know if you look at the older video comments but which model of NS Design were you using? They have all gone up in price since this video. I'm a horn player who's never played a cello and looking to have some fun. Did play viola in high school so I'm not entirely unfamiliar with string instuments. Which model do you think would be good for me? I found a used 110 for $2000 but i'm not sure how they ship from Virginia. Any help is welcome. You're a beautiful player.!!! Bob

Hi Dorette, thank you for this very clear, thorough, and honest review. I’m a composer and professional pianist, but I have for a long time wanted to learn the cello, and because I live in an apartment, the ability to practice as a total beginner without disturbing the unappreciative neighbours 😂 is an important factor. My eyes were really opened to the electric cello by a superb duo who guest on river boats in the Mosel area of Germany. ❤

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.

❤❤❤

only seeing this now, thank you for the comparisons! i have a question: in the section with acoustic amps and no effects, the yamaha cellos have reverb in their sound. Is this something you can adjust via knobs/button? or is this the default sound (due to the resonating chamber) and there is no truly flat sound option available?

This this a fart? kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4LTeZ2Gl9yqi5o

Electric cello sounds reverbed with cut high frequencies which is Not recomended to listen to,for long periods of time.The ears have to listen to the whole freq phasma.Listening to electric cello for long periods makes sence to have headache after that.But classic cello is natural,and natural sound always plays all the freqs which is good for the head.Imagine how you feel when you travel by buss for many hours.You will get headache because the buss cuts the high freqs from outside,which scientifically translates to different atmospheric pressure.Classic cello 4 ever!!!

Thank you. Not only I find it useful, I enjoyed watching 👏

Hi Dorette, what acoustic amp did you use?

Beautiful, thank you for the goose bumps🙏

So teaching myself cello, mistake probably considering I barely read music. 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?

Cette musique est magnifique, j'essayerais de la jouer au piano et au violoncelle !!!!!

Thank you for this, this video is exactly what i needed to feel confident in buying an electric to learn quietly

What amplifier do you use? Thanks!

Great! Which NS Design is it?

The Electric Cello is actually Semi-Hollow bodied to better emulate the sound of an Acoustic Cello.
