Gliga Professional Vasile Cello – Montagna 1739 – 4/4 Size

Pete McLachlan — Thu, 25 Feb 2021 00:19:10 +0000

This Gliga Professional Vasile Cello is a faithful recreation of an old master; the 1739 Domenica Montagna (Venice) instrument, ‘Sleeping Beauty’. This shorter, wider version of the standard Stradivari pattern has been handcrafted in the “inner sanctum” of Vasile Gliga’s Romanian workshop in sycamore maple, using wood with outstanding tone that has been naturally dried for many years. The outline of the instrument’s body is deepened and the plates are precisely graduated. Special attention has been given to the deeply etched and well highlighted scroll. All fittings have been manufactured by the Gliga company.

Top: Carpathian Resonance Spruce
Back, Neck & Sides: Naturally Aged Sycamore Maple
Inlaid purfling, Ebony Swiss Style Pegs, Ebony Fingerboard, Wittner Tailpiece with inbuilt adjusters, Ebony plug endpin, Maple bridge.
Made in Romania

Set up in BassWorks’ Belair workshop with Opal Titan Strings.

Length of back: 73.5 cm
Upper bout: 36.6 cm

NS Design Cello WAV4c – Transparent Amber (shop demo)

With electronics 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.

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. An escutcheon pin on the neck, corresponding to the location of the heel on an acoustic cello, is standard.

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.
