ChinCello

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.
