Luis Leguia playing Bach C Major Prelude

[inapproprick]

It comforts me that a professional player sometimes makes those squeaky sounds that I often make when my finger touches the string!

[PRODIGYat43]

very unusual fingerings!

[jehovahuponyou]

@PRODIGYat43 - STRANGE YOU WOULD SAY THAT, I GAVE A FELLOW SOME UNSUAL FINGERS THE OTHER DAY IN TRAFFIC.

[Stevopedia]

it also sounds less warm than it should because of the quality of the recording... the microphone used did not capture bass very well.

[WorldMusicFan2]

wow, thats really beautiful. I wasn't expecting a carbon fiber instrument to sound like that... o.O :D :D

[key00992233]

An instrument can't make music beautiful. It is the player what makes it beautiful.

[tokay444]

Thank you.

[RK11111111111]

It that a carbon fiber cow he is playing with?

[YNGVIRTUOSOVIOLIST]

wow awsome

[prat141]

@euch27 im very curious as to what they are also. Based on what i've gathered from reviews, i'd assume that the sound is much much brighter. Its also not always great to have a very loud instrument when it comes to ensemble pieces. Preference is key when looking at instruments tho. ;)

[UncleTito72]

I don't know if you know, but the man playing is also the inventor.

[CraziiKid1990]

They're actually around $5,000

You could probably find one for around $4,000

[cellobuddy]

They are nice instruments, but there it is really nothing like a wooden instrument. These instruments are very responsive, and very sensitive. They don't handle bow pressure well, but you don't have to try very hard to get sound out of it.

[Littlehomber]

A great musician playing on a fabulous instrument! As soon as I get the money, I'm getting one of these cellos! I love them so much!

[chozen8000]

i would so want to get 1 of those but it's $7000.....dang...

[failedlaunch]

sounds wonderful!

[supermegajose]

I Think that there is nothing like playing in a wood instrument but I heard that the sound of that instrument is so much better, a litle brighter but much powerful, am i right?

[failedlaunch]

i must agree, it does sound brighter! its as if it got amplified, like you placed an entire cathedral inside the instrument to make it resound every note :P

[mythical73]

im sooo go=unna get that song at the violin outlet

[yvesdacraze]

:) I WANT ONE!!!!XDDDD

[hippieMan4203]

these cellos have incredible tone but they dont have much warmth at all

[khaderach19]

@hippieMan4203 that can be changed. You can change the resin formulation to be more pliable to produce counter-resonance frequencies from the body to create warmth.

[SoccrBritt]

how much do those kinds of cellos cost? They look really cool.

[xx70nyxx]

If you go to the Luis & Clark website, it says the cellos are about $7,000.

[TheNoisePolluter]

I know that the carbon base's are $8,000

[Manifold1]

wat?

[CelloMaster14]

I own one of these, and I got to say without it I would have alot less gigs, and alot less money. Theses cellos are good!

[cacafu]

I honestly don't like the Carbon Cello,i don't know,i like the old school style,but i would love to have a dark wood cello!or black *w*

[abcdnike]

I dont like that Carbon Cellos.

[veggieburgerfish]

what a beautiful, dark sound

[Nosillla]

For a carbon fiber and from a youtube video...it sounds pretty good.

[bunabayashi]

Dude,

It's a demonstration. No acoustical shells, no mic, this cello is twice as loud as a wood cello. I'm not saying the man is a virtuoso, but he's skilled. This video is more about the unique instrument.

[tpsabres]

Actually, he is the former principal cellist of the Boston Symphony. So yes, he is quite skilled.

[UncleTito72]

@bunabayashi He played with the Boston Symphony Orchestra for over 40 years. They would not keep him if he was a chump.

[trackguy1]

@bunabayashi I'm not going against anything that you're saying, but saying that the cello is twice as loud as a wooden cello is a bit inaccurate. This is a music hall, is it not? Therefore, one would expect that the cello be quite louder than the norm. So, again, I do not mean to offend you or go against anything you say, but I just thought I'd point this out.

[neonfish07]

beautiful cello, excellent performance

[unusualmusician]

That sounds like a fine instrument. And beautifully played.

[bushwarp]

Wow that cello sounds amazing.

[tokay444]

you can tell over your computer through a sh*tty youtube video? most people need to be right in front of the instrument or at least a $25000+ sound system to get a accurate depiction of sound quality. but you can do it here eh? sony should hire you to honne the sound quality of their garbage then.

[Headcrabb]

I have to agree with him, although bluntly put the audio quality of Youtube is not accommodating to any recording.

It is still pretty cool to hear a carbon fibre cello in action, being played by a professional.

[cjcrox1997]

@tokay444 YOURE HILARIOUS.

[violoncellomaster]

ive never seen such weird fingering for this peice

[bhsbhsbhs]

Very nicely played! I love the intro too! I thought it id not need the zooming. Very cool instrument indeed and I bet that sucker is much lighter to carry to gigs!
