Frequently Asked Questions

Richlite is generally smoother and more consistent than ebony, and it's less prone to cracking or shrinking, making it a very practical choice for an electric cello.
The pickup system delivers a very clean signal, but you'll likely still want to shape the EQ to fit the specific recording context; it’s a good starting point.
The included stand is functional, but a heavier-duty, professional-grade stand is recommended for serious stage work to ensure stability.
