How Do You Even Play a Stick Cello?

[cubone]

highly recommend the endpin stand, feels much better than the tripod due to the familiar reference points!

[rocketfumes]

shoulder strap on a cello sounds so cool!!! would love to see that in action one day

[jonpowell]

Just turn it to one side, and cello, you got a bass.

I owned an NS and for over a year they were out of stock on the endpin stand so I sold it. It should just come standard instead of as an extra 400 dollar purchase

[glowco.]

I used to play an NS Design 5 string double bass and the stand is actually so convenient. The idea that your instrument is freestanding and you don’t have to carefully set it down on its side or bring an extra stand when you step away is huge. Also never worrying about peg slipping is massive

The cellist from Simply three uses this cello sometimes and he shows it with the strap if you want to see it in action. I think their bassist also uses the bass version as well.

the tripod looks like a nightmare to try to use

Okay, I might be a little biased because I love the NS designs. Cello I have the frame strap system and can move around. I love it. However, the tripod is not tall enough for a relatively tall person to play standing up. Do still love the tripod but you almost have to get used to putting pressure against the back of the cello to keep it from tipping over when you're playing seated. So it would probably be more prone to tipping when you're standing in playing with the tripod. However, I really love the cello. I've had mine for well month and a half and played in front of people twice with it and I've only been learning cello for about 5 months. It's wonderful! I got the five string just for the extra low f so I can play a little bass

I’m convinced Danny Carey just got bored with drums and opened up a stringed instrument shop at this point

[Phoenix]

I can't wait til I get one of these. :) UPDATE: I got the Nxta with the frame strap Soo happy :)

[bridgerparker]

Calvin langman of the happy fits often used a shoulder strapped cello when performing

We need to petition to call the second attachment shown a Cell-bone.

I played this same model cello in concert where i had to switch from my regular cello to this electric cello back to my regular cello because i played a solo on the electric one, but we didnt have the endpin stand and it was so disorienting 🤣

[MsCellobass]

Love it!! I have an NS cello and would like to get the shoulder strap!!

[YankeeFiddler]

Since you can play fiddle you can play cello. The finger stretch is a bit larger but you could quickly figure it out

[jaharireggae]

I’d like to see a one of those cellos with Brian May’s pickup system just like he has on his red special

[John-cwno]

You're very respectful to cellists for not playing..I would've done a walking bass line

[chef]

love this content, thank you for making it.

This makes me realize that we as humans are creatures of habit, and maybe I am not taking advantage of that enough.

[ryanbaker]

It feels like the necessity of the tripod or monopod would diminish most of the returns of a small electric instrument like this, but I don’t play, so.
