Selected User Reviews For Yamaha SVC50SK Silent Compact Cello Outfit
A student has advanced to this level for me In addition to playing acoustic violoncello during the day, I have also purchased a Yamaha Silent Cello as a backup practice instrument for after-hours play. In the first few minutes after I received it and tried it out, I was in love with it. Furthermore, I purchased a Yamaha acoustic guitar amplifier (THR5A) as a complement to I love how the silent cello and guitar amp work so well together. Let me share with the buyer some observations, which may not be entirely negative, but the buyer should also take into consideration (2) Although the box says "Silent Cello", this is not entirely accurate. People living in houses with thinly insulated, sheet rock walls may hear you if you play intensely on the A and D strings in the higher positions, especially if you're living in a house with thinly insulated, sheet rock walls. There won't be a huge jackhammer to wake them up, but they could hear the higher notes and become very irritated with your playing after hearing three-octave scales all night. Point (2) The Silent Cello is very portable because it breaks down very nicely and fits in a pretty nice case (Good job, Yamaha) but it still doesn't solve all the issues associated with taking an acoustic cello on tours. In any case, the cello still has an oblong case even when it is narrower than an acoustic cello. In other words, if you're traveling by plane and want to stow it in the overhead compartment, it isn't compact like a violin, nor is it short like In other words, it's thinner, lighter, and more like a You cannot fit the bag in the overhead compartment because it is not big enough to require an additional plane ticket, but sufficiently large that you bump into headrests or other people's heads trying to make it fit. Therefore, be careful not to irritate other passengers, as I have To return to point (3), there is no safe place to put it when you step away for a break. As soon as I step away from the cello for a little while, I place it into a cello stand or put it on its side in a safe corner. As for the silent cello, it does not have ribs to rest on its side, so I guess you have to lean it against anything or lay it down on a bare floor. Keep an eye out. To conclude point (4), the strings that come from the factory are weak and substandard. ("Red Label" brand?) Soon after use, they became As a replacement for them, I bought at least a set of Jargar strings, which were much better sounding. The Yamaha customer service reps obviously wouldn't bother to get me a new set, since they would just replace them with another new subpar set of Buy your own set of good strings if you want to play well. To finish, we come to point (5) the guitar Although I find the Jargar style tuner to be very easy to use, I find myself tuning the instrument more regularly on the other hand, it could be because I am just breaking in the new strings. The instrument is otherwise excellent, despite the 5 relatively minor issues outlined above. The cello feels and sounds just like an acoustic cello accurately enough for it to be a suitable example for quiet practice. The listener has lots of creative options available when hooked up to an amplifier and an accompaniment source.
Honestly, it is one of the best keyboards I have ever tried, given that it does not have a body and consists of just a finger board. I especially love the fact that it can be played at any time of the day or night, since it is silent. In addition, the cello solo can be accompanied by a line-in aux that is included with the unit, in addition to plugging in a headphone (included).
It has been a valuable practice tool for me. The Electronic Violin Shop has truly delivered - thank you! It was all ready to go when it was delivered to me.
I think that this is a very good, high quality product.
The short version This is an amazing instrument with a wide range of applications! Let's now take a look at a more in-depth The acoustic cello I play was recently put to use when I recently moved into an apartment complex. I knew I was being paranoid, and I made sure not to practice too early or too late. But nobody complained. The treatment of musicians by neighbors has been a source of horror stories to me. When I practiced, I occasionally strummed with the practice mute--this effectively cuts down the sound, but greatly alters the timbre of the cello (making it sound In my SVC-purchase, I bought In the end, I chose 50 due to its lack of timbre. Also, I wanted a smaller instrument that would be easier to travel with in case I had to use it late at night or early in the morning. Nonetheless the volume is much quieter than practicing the acoustic cello, and the instrument is not literally silent you will hear some ambient sound, but it is not literally silent. seems like the ambient sound won't be able to travel very far through walls or rooms. Using the practice mute on my acoustic instrument, the volume is similar (if not slightly quieter) than when I use that setting on my electric. It is known that some people will put a practice mute on the electric cello to further minimize the sound, however the timbre will be distorted by this, as it would be with the acoustic. As the pickup on a silent cello is a piezo, it responds to changes in pressure when a vibration occurs due to It feels as if you are playing an acoustic cello with its warm, rich sound when you have the headphones on. Even notes that are over an octave above open A (and then the difference is quite slight) don't register much of a difference in timbre to me. To change the reverberation setting, choose from these three options The Room, the Hall 1, and the Hall 2, in order of an increasing reverberation. There are some interesting reverb effects, and this could certainly help prepare someone for playing alone in a hall—if only in a more acoustically controlled way A dead practice space is However, the reverb does sound a touch artificial, but it is still an amazing feature that is truly useful. For my own tastes, I usually use Hall 1 as the reverb setting since Hall 2 is too extreme and unrealistic. Despite my acoustic and electric cellos feeling nearly the same, I rarely notice any difference between the two instruments. There is a very good sense of reality in the chest and knee contact points, as well as in the 4th position reference. The likelihood is that you could close your eyes and forget you are not holding acoustic instruments. It's minimalist appearance does not detract from the fact that it plays very much like a I only have one complaint about mine, the strings are raised too far off the finger board, but I can take it to a luthier to have the bridge adjusted. A feature of mine is that I got it with Super Sensitive Red Label Strings, which are some of the worst strings you can ever purchase. However, it seems to make no difference, the instrument still sounds excellent irrespective of the circumstances. String choice on an electric instrument doesn't seem to be as important, which is really cool. You don't need to do much to set it The strings just have to be loosened enough to allow the bridge to fit, then the string tuning can begin. There is even the option to adjust the tension of the gear pegs, allowing more or less difficulty to be applied. Due to the desire to be able to make minute adjustments more easily, I tightened them quite a bit. In addition, I would like to mention that I do not support As a substitute for an acoustic cello, it costs $50. When it comes to playing the silent cello, there is a bit more flexibility with the left hand pressure on the strings or when bowing. The practice of exclusively playing it could result in some sloppy technique if one is not careful. Although I did not purchase it for this purpose, I did purchase it based on the reviews I read online The 50 would be an excellent choice both in amplifier settings and in non-amplified settings Using a microphone with an acoustic cello makes it difficult to avoid the feedback often associated with this technique. The 110 and 210 are two other Yamaha cellos that are silent. As a result of purchasing If you can save $50 and not spend $500 or $1000 more on the fancier models, I see no reason not to save. All of my needs can be satisfied by the 50 The sound is great, the volume is low, and the transportation is easier. What a great instrument to have as a backup!.
Despite the Yamaha SVC50SK's beautiful appearance and high quality construction, it is just too easy to play, which I am very happy about. I think he should be able to get this for a good price simply because it has amazing sound. As an acoustic cellist, I bought it for practice but found that as soon as I used it for one event, it quickly became my primary choice Thanks to this instrument, I now enjoy playing the cello even more than I did before. Please note Yamaha is the company to choose. The cello I bought from Cecilio Electric had too many problems, so I returned it. You won't benefit from wasting your time and money. Quite a few strings were broken due to the difficulty in staying in tune.
