  • great cello improvisation! creative. I love your play.

    but I still wondering how the cello was amplified.

    is the cello German instrument? i think electric cello is very different instrument when we compare it with authentic ones. gypsy cello is an established genre?

  • Thanks for your kind words! Indeed my cello is German, and I stick a Barcus-Berry transuder on the bridge, which amplify the sounds and allows for effects -- echo, distortion, etc... Gypsy cello is not an established genre per se -- Gypsy violin is...

  • This is very nice! But I must admit that csárdás is not gipsy music, but tradtitional Hungarian! :-)

  • I stand corrected :)!

  • Hey! I liked that a lot! I play the cello myself, and want to amplify it so I can equalize and use effects. How are you amplifying your cello? What kind of mic do you use? Do you have a rack, or a pedal? wow, many questions! hope you can answer some. thanks a lot!

  • Hi Tatetxu,

    Thanks for your positive comment! To amplify my cello I use a Barcus-Berry pick-up (installed on the bridge) connected to a regular guitar amplifier *Vox* that provides quite a few effects--e.g., echo, distortion, delay, etc... It is effective but the feedback can be quite annoying and I cannot find a way to reduce it (that is, when I want to get loud its there, period)... You dont get that problem with an electric cello... Hope this helps,

    Alain

  • oh...it is German, indeed. Barcus-Berry transuder on the bridge? Is he ok?

    I love your wild cello play! bow technique is unique.

  • maybe try the Realist pickup and/or a pre-amp ...

    hope that helps...

  • V.Monti-Czardas :)

  • Oops, I meant kick, not kicks, unrehearsed non-professional.
