NEW! Carbon cello EvoLine Hybrid made in Germany

Pure Carbon. Full Sound. Stage-Ready.

100 % CARBON FIBER MADE IN GERMANY INTEGRATED PICKUP 100 % VEGAN

Concept

The EvoLine Hybrid is a complete mezzo-forte instrument with built-in amplification – manufactured to the same standards, in the same workshop. The accessible price comes not from cutting corners, but from a streamlined production process: the elaborate painting stage is omitted. What remains is polished carbon fiber in its most honest form – enhanced with a professional pickup system that is always ready when you are.

Sound

Acoustically, the EvoLine Hybrid delivers the same full, projecting tone as the purely acoustic model. The carbon fiber body produces a sound with remarkable depth and carrying power.

• Projection & Warmth: A full, resonant sound with natural depth in the lower register and clear presence across all strings.
• Effortless Response: Less bow pressure required than on a comparable wooden cello. Immediate articulation in every position – an advantage that benefits students and professionals equally.
• Strings: Factory-fitted with Larsen Aurora strings and a Tungsten-wound C-string for a rich, well-balanced tonal foundation from the first stroke.

Pickup System

At the heart of the Hybrid version: a permanently installed ANS pickup system (AbsoluteNaturalSound) based on dynamic microphone technology. The pickup is built into the instrument from the start – no retrofitting, no adhesive mounts, no cable clutter.

• Connection: Standard 1/4" (6.3 mm) jack – directly compatible with amplifiers, mixing consoles, and effects units.
• Principle: Plug & play. Connect a cable, start playing. No battery required, no pre-wiring needed.
• Tonal Character: The ANS pickup captures the instrument's natural voice – warm, detailed, and free from the harshness typically associated with piezo-based systems.

Surface & Resilience

The polished raw carbon finish is not a compromise – it is a deliberate choice. No lacquer, no paint: the material itself, visible and tangible. An instrument that shows what it is made of.

In daily use, this translates to outstanding durability. Scratches blend into the surface rather than standing out. Temperature changes, humidity, and sweat have no effect on the instrument. The EvoLine Hybrid is fully climate-stable – built for touring, outdoor performance, and the demands of professional stage use.

Setup & Components

Every EvoLine Hybrid Cello ships professionally set up and ready to perform:

• Pegs: Wittner fine-tuning pegs for precise, effortless tuning – unaffected by humidity or temperature changes.
• Fingerboard: NFC Composite – smooth, durable, and sustainable. The feel and playability of ebony, without the ecological cost.
• Strings: Larsen Aurora with Tungsten-wound C-string.
• Pickup: ANS (AbsoluteNaturalSound), dynamic microphone technology, 1/4" (6.3 mm) jack.
• Materials: The entire instrument is 100 % vegan – no animal-derived materials used at any stage of production.
