NS Design CR6 Cello Review

This is an awesome instrument. I've always been a fan of Ned Steinberger's work and this cello does not disappoint. Now, I am a guitarist crossing over to the cello, so when I set out to buy an electric cello I was put off by the way they look. Most electric cellos are downright ugly, all of them. They look more like space ships than anything else. Not the CR6. This is one sexy instrument. It is very light when compared to an electric guitar. With the CR6 you can tell that someone who knows about ergonomics had a saying in the design. There is a small brass button on the back telling you where 4th position would be. The controls are easily accessible. The included tripod is highly adjustable; you really can put it in any position. The electronics are very good, but if you play though small speakers the sound gets honky and buzzy. I recommend getting an active (powered) speaker with at least a 15" woofer for amplification. Larger woofers reproduce the lower frequencies better than small ones. Also, the more power you have the better. The increased headroom of more powerful amplification helps a lot when you are playing with other people, particularly if there are drummers involved. In addition, I have friends that have had incredible results with bass amplification. It makes sense, since the lowest note on the CR6 is still not as low as the lowest note on a 4 string bass guitar (by a minor 2nd, but still). If you are going that route, get a combo amp with a 15 inch woofer. Ampeg, Carvin and Gallien-Krueger have great combo amps that will give you a sweet sound, plus bass amps usually have an effects loop if you want to ad special effects to your sound.

This is a remarkable instrument, and I truly feel that NS offers a better built cello than any other company, particularly because of the state of the art electronics. Take the Wood Cobra cello for example. That thing costs twice the price of the CR6 and it does not include a preamp for the pickup. Everyone knows that if you are using a piezo pickup you NEED a preamp if you want the best sound. You can still use a piezo without a preamp, but the sound quality suffers immensely.
