The Violectra Cello: Standard Features
~BODY:- A streamlined body removing the 'corners' at
the bridge arch and end blocks.
~NECK:- The continuation of the neck under the fingerboard
offering stability and practicality in finishing over the extended
fingerboard.
~SCROLL:- Strings are carried over nut to holes through
scroll. String ball ends lock into recessed holes on the back face
of profiled scroll.
DBJ says " With the invention of
specially tensioned strings, the Violectra Cello has the opportunity
of two 5 string instruments with the popular low F tuning or as a
high E tuning. Combining them both for a 6 string would be pushing
the boundaries ( yet to be made). The Violectra Cello features symmetrical bouts at the neck block and the addition of corners in
the lower block to accommodate the playing position and the contact
point with the players knee and chest. Cellists can presently choose between ½, 7/8 and 4/4 instrument
models. New models can be made to measure."
