Electric & Carbon Fibre Cellos
Modern cellos built for performance, durability, and amplified sound
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of a carbon fibre cello?
Carbon fibre cellos are durable and resistant to changes in temperature and humidity, making them ideal for travel or outdoor performances.
Do I need an amp for an electric cello?
Yes, an electric cello needs to be connected to an amplifier or a headphone amplifier to be heard properly. Some models can connect directly to PA systems, audio interfaces, or effects pedals for live or recording purposes.
Can I play an electric cello with headphones?
Absolutely. Most electric cellos allow you to plug in headphones directly, making them perfect for quiet practice at home, late-night sessions, or focused learning without disturbing others.
Is a carbon fibre cello better for hot weather?
Yes. Carbon fibre is far more stable than wood in extreme temperatures, making it less likely to warp, crack, or go out of tune. It’s an excellent choice for outdoor performances, touring, or practising in hot or humid conditions.
Can a beginner learn on an electric cello?
We usually recommend beginners start on a traditional cello, like our Arioso Cello Outfit, because it’s the best way to get a feel for a natural tone. However, an electric cello can be handy if you need to practice quietly at home with headphones.
