The idea

A full instrument from our workshop, built to the same standards as every cello we make. The accessible price comes from a streamlined production route: the elaborate lacquering is left out. What remains is polished carbon, with a pickup system that is ready whenever you are.

Tone

A large, resonant sound with natural warmth in the low register and clear presence across all strings. The response takes less bow pressure than comparable wooden instruments, and articulation is there at once, in every position. Qualities usually expected in considerably higher price brackets.

The pickup

Cordasonus is built into the instrument. Nothing to retrofit, nothing glued on, no hardware sitting on the body. The system is piezoelectric, but it uses a proprietary treated crystal from a German ceramics technology company. The sensor sits in the bridge and registers pressure changes there and nothing else, not the general resonance of the body. The result is a natural tone without the hardness of conventional piezo systems, a frequency response from 10 Hz to 80 kHz and low feedback sensitivity.

Connects through a 6.3 mm jack, no battery. The pickup rotates in the bridge: turning it in 45 degree steps changes the tonal character, with no tools and no equalizer.

Finish

Polished raw carbon, dark anthracite, with a silky sheen. No lacquer, no maintenance. Scratches settle into the material structure instead of showing. Perspiration, temperature swings and humidity have no effect on tone or substance.
