stability, PLUS your choice of a solid graduated

sound quality that is much fuller than typical
beginner cellos. Looks and sounds like a
$1000-$1500 cello, but at a much lower price.

"golden" years, considered by many to be the

Lightweight case, an exterior music pocket, 2 interior bow holders, wheels (of course) for EZ transport, and a unique zipper lock to keep out unwanted tamperers. Available in 4/4 size only. |
ChinCello
Outfit |
ChinCello Outfit A truly portable cello, the ChinCello is no larger that a 16” viola, but produces true cello tones! It is played in “chin” position just like a violin or viola, which not only makes a strolling string quartet a reality, it also makes it possible to play cello in venues where there is simply not enough physical space for a standard size cello. Because of its smaller dimensions, it is also much more portable on planes, trains, and automobiles, and is particularly adaptable to alternative music venues (rock, country, etc.) by simply strapping on a pickup and plugging into the main board. A “must have” for the well-rounded player. Outfit comes complete with case and cello bow. |
