The NXT5a-CO-SB is a fantastic option for gigging cellists or those wanting a low F without the acoustic cello's volume limitations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Polar pickups offer a more dynamic and nuanced response, avoiding the overly bright or brittle tone often associated with piezo systems.
It's a standard construction technique in NS Design instruments and actually enhances stability, minimizing warping and neck issues common with traditional wood-only necks.
A standard cello bow works perfectly well, but a lighter bow might be preferable given the instrument’s responsiveness and lighter overall feel.
