NS Design WAV Electric Cello NSD-WAV-4CO-AMBT
For the cellist venturing into the world of the electric, this
instrument offers the combination of design, performance and
affordability exceeding any other instrument in its class. Compact and
light (4.5 pounds!), the WAV cello is a pleasure to travel with, but in
terms of features and performance, this instrument is no lightweight.
True to the NS tradition, the WAV captures the essence of an acoustic,
yet opens up an exciting range of new possibilities.
With electronics are fully based around the NS patented Polar? Pickup
System, the WAV provides amazingly natural cello tone, with freedom
from feedback and wolf tones. Since 100% of the sound comes via the
pickup, using looping and other electronic effects is easy and far more
effective than with an amplified acoustic.
The body design allows effortless access to the full range of the
fingerboard, and unparalleled freedom of movement on stage. The special
asymmetrical fingerboard relief, a hallmark of all NS bowed electrics,
provides extraordinary ease of playability from the lowest to the
highest positions. To suit individual player preferences, the string
heights can be modified via remarkably simple bridge height adjustment,
and the fingerboard relief can be modified using the readily accessible
two-way truss rod.
FEATURES
NS Electric Strings and most traditional acoustic strings fit all NS
Cellos, allowing the player to select from a wide range, each with a
unique sound a feel. In combination with the easy adjustment of basic
set-up parameters, the WAV cello is adaptable to a nearly limitless
range of music styles.
A fully adjustable cello tripod stand can be used seated or standing.
The WAV electric cello brings unprecedented affordability to the player
interested in world-class design, craftsmanship and performance. With a
visual appearance a striking as its sound, the roadworthy WAV is an
exciting and reliable partner for the most demanding performance career.
