The CR6-CO-PB is a fantastic option for cellists looking to explore amplified sounds and multi-string possibilities. The solid sycamore construction gives it a unique tonal character, and the active pickups really cut through a mix. It’s particularly well-suited for contemporary composers, studio musicians, or performers wanting a versatile electric cello without sacrificing too much of the traditional feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Richlite offers a slightly brighter, more focused tone than ebony, with a more consistent feel due to its manufactured nature.
While NS Design’s system is well-designed, feedback can still be an issue at very high volumes; a good preamp and careful EQ are recommended.
The added two strings extend the cello's range, but it requires adapting fingerings and may feel slightly wider for traditional cello players.
