The tone of the song is excellent. Easy non-verbal communication An installation that is permanent. She is also a cello teacher. I am the cellist of our family. Her work in the praise group at our church has been overpowered by the drums and bass. We have tried different mics, but she struggles to hear herself over them. There was a harshness even with a LR Baggs preamp and severe EQ, regardless of whether we used a Fishman C100 or not. After that, we tried a JTS string instrument pickup and it was still too loud even though it was just millimeters away from the bridge. I really liked the sound of it alone, In my thought process, I thought the Realist would be the next stop, but it turned out to be the Silent Cello. It would have been better if I got the Realist first. It has a very smooth high end, and In this case, she is using the Baggs preamp as A touch of reverb adds body to the sound, making it very much like an acoustic cello. It's a good idea to use this if you plan on playing in a loud setting.
I've used Realist bass pickups before, but this is my first cello pickup ever. The pickup I had before this was a cheap acoustic guitar pickup attached to the front of the device, which was incredibly bright and harsh, no matter what it was plugged The Realist does not feel the need to exceed high levels of quality - As it turns out, it is rather An Eminence speaker is being used in place of the original on Channel 1 of a Fender Super Champ XD. There is a good balance between the sounds here- There's no way I can play with an amp as dark as a GK bass amp. Here is one note I think it'll be necessary to have a preamp to listen to a PA When I played it through my JBL Eon, I did not get any output on either the line or mic levels - I guess there is some sort of impedance mismatch. In any case, once you match it to the right amp, it sounds great.
This pickup is very good. Having sound that is as clear as pick-up and easy to install is a huge plus. It is all that needs to be done is to place the rectangular metal piece under the bridge's foot and put the input at the tail end of it. All kinds of things are picked up by this device You can also play the pizzicato on the guitar or arco. There is a small lift on the C-harness with this pickup Because the pickup is installed on the bridge side of the string, the string side of the bridge is a little bit angled. Cello without raised bridge is not affected in any way. It's time to tune up the C The cello will be in D-flat, so I'm going to string up the A string. A standard tuning (in fourths instead of fifths) is as follows I am studying to become a DGCF cellist so that I can perform metal on the The pickup is really great at picking up the staccatos from pounding the open string with the bow or finger. So I'm constantly thumping the D string (like in metal) and the pickup does a great job picking up the staccatos. *The pickup works great with guitar amps and bass amps as well. Using a Fender Rumble bass amp and a Carvin v3 guitar tube amp, I got some beautiful tones. A great way to add a growl to your guitar is to use distortion pedals The tone of an acoustic instrument.

It is built to last. Put this pickup in your car and you will be able to show off your cello's beauty and expressiveness.
The gadget has been a very helpful tool both for public performances of cello with clear and natural sound, as well as for private rehearsal for monitoring purposes. In spite of the installation being minor and being under the bridge, the installation has not caused any concern. There is one slight concern that leaving the pickup on the cello while transporting leaves the long chord attached, which could be a problem. It might be useful to have a connection near the bridge that leaves only a short chord when transporting and then allows attaching the extension when.
As time goes on, the noise gets louder and louder. You will hear far less noise when you use a higher quality cable. I used a 1/4" guitar cable to begin with. The cable I use from my cello to my LR Baggs para DI has been upgraded to a Vox coil cable. A loop pedal is even used occasionally. There is no audible noise from my pedal. Within a period of one hour, the noise would typically reach an unacceptable level This loop layer has two Using a realist pickup and strong cable, I can now layer up to five visual effects There are 6 parts to the chords for "string section". In other words From the original The first sounds are low, then the noise gets louder.
This is an easy to use product that is easy to install and The sound of my cello can be adjusted and effects can be added by using a different amp or pedal. Furthermore, you can plug in the device at a bar or performance venue instead of using a mic. As part of my setup, I also set up an in-house computer system A private ear monitor (to prevent me from having to put my ear on a tuning peg) allows me to hear myself better than a stage monitor.
The pick up I use now is one I have been using for a couple months. Based on my experience to date, I can say the following * * *- Getting started with the installation is quite simple. My cello shop did the installation for me, though, just to be on the safe side. * * *- I have found that using a good cable has made a big difference. There have been times when I've used a cable and the sound that came out of the pick-up isn't what I wanted It sucked to go up The lower and higher registers of the cello were not being picked up, and the sound was very electronic. By switching the cable, I was able to fix the problem. * * *- This might have something to do with it not being battery-powered, because I've found that I must crank up the volume on the PA really loud to get heard, even when I'm playing hard. Has anyone had a similar experience? With drums, I play in an all-drum punk rock band, so the volume is important. This has been helped a little by using a DI box. * * *- The tone carries well, except when it is not a good cable. A good cable allows the natural background sound from the cello to be heard clearly.
In spite of that, the item itself functions The sound quality is excellent. While I like that it's attached to the tailpiece, it would be nice to connect it to something else.
