NS Design CR5 Bass CelloNS Design CR Series Electric Bass Cello
General DescriptionA new dimension in musical expression electric bowed instruments are reaching across the traditional divide bringing bowed music back into popular use and energizing the classical world with exciting new sounds. NS Design is driven to develop the best instruments possible to support this union of tradition and technology. In this spirit we are proud to welcome the bass cello into the NS family of electric bowed instruments. Fifty years ago the electro-magnetic pickup gave birth to the electric bass guitar which in turn spawned new sounds destined to change music forever. But a guitar cannot be bowed leaving many bass players with an unfulfilled desire for the rich sound only a bowed instrument can provide. With the advent of piezo technology the NS Electric Bass Cello has emerged from the drawing board to fill this desire. A purebred electric bowed instrument the five string Bass Cello has a range that covers the double bass and cello combined. The stroke of the bow energizes the instrument with a wonderfully expressive sound combining a powerful bass resonance with brilliant harmonics. It's bold pizzicato voice ranges from the percussive punch of the acoustic upright to the smooth sustain of the fretless electric to new and uncharted sonic territory.
