This NS Design WAV5c is a seriously versatile electric cello, especially great for contemporary classical, film scoring, and anyone needing a full, resonant low end. The low F really opens up new compositional possibilities, and the included accessories make it gig-ready right out of the box. It’s a premium-priced instrument, but delivers a lot of value for the money.
