NS Design WAV CELLO

For the traditional cellist venturing into the electric world, this instrument offers a combination of design, performance, and affordability exceeding any other instrument in its class. Compact and surprisingly light, the WAV cello is a pleasure to travel with - but in terms of features and performance, this instrument is no lightweight. True to the NS tradition, the WAV captures the essence of an acoustic instrument, whilst opening up an exciting range of new possibilities.

Electric instruments are not included in our 30 days back trial/money-back guarantee, they are covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

With electronics based around the NS patented Polar™ Pickup System, the WAV provides an 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 offers 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 a simple bridge height adjustment process, and the fingerboard relief can be modified using the readily accessible two-way truss rod.

The WAV cello is available in 4 or 5 string models with a variety of color options.

NS Polar^™ Bridge Pickup System

Pizzicato and arco techniques have almost unlimited expressive potential, thanks to the NS Design Polar™ Pickup System...  Two separate mounted transducers beneath the bridge offer unlimited expressive potential and powerful dynamics. With each pickup specialized for a specific task, a convenient switch gives you the choice to select a traditional arco mode for percussive attack and a dynamic bowed response, or the pizzicato mode for a smooth, sustained tone.

NS DESIGN WAV CELLO USER MANUAL

Construction

The solid, straight grain maple body and neck, together with the hand graduated ebony fingerboard, deliver a rich, full tone that rings true for every note. Asymmetrical fingerboard relief provides extraordinary ease of playability from the lowest to the highest positions. To suit individual player preferences, the fingerboard relief can be adjusted via the truss rod in the neck, and the string height is readily adjustable at the bridge.

An escutcheon pin on the neck, corresponding to the location of the heel on an acoustic cello, is standard; a more conventional wooden neck heel is also available for installation.

Strings

NS / D’Addario 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 NXTa Series Cello is adaptable to a nearly limitless range of music styles.
