Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The CR5 Omni is a fascinating instrument, truly blurring the lines between cello and bass. It’s a premium-priced option ideal for multi-instrumentalists, composers, or anyone seeking unique sonic textures and the flexibility to play both cello and bass repertoire. The build quality is solid, but it's a niche tool, not a replacement for either a traditional cello or bass.
