The
Violectra Cello:
Cellists can presently choose
between
4/4, 7/8 and ½ size instrument
models.
New models can be made to measure.
Standard Features:
BODY:- A streamlined body
with symmetrical extending arms at neck block for contact
point with the player's body and the addition of lower
corners for contact with the player's knee .
NECK:- The continuation of
the neck under the whole length of fingerboard offering strength to
resist string tension.
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 on one instrument.
