The Yamaha SVC-50 preserves all the contact points of a normal cello - especially the heel of the neck, which is an important reference point for shifting to the higher positions. Tone is good, and the built-in reverb warms up your sound.
Comes with heavily padded gig bag & headphones.
Includes cable for connecting your CD, MP3 or cassette.

Great sound when connected to an amp or headphones, feels just like an acoustic cello Review by Mike
I just set up my SVC-50 cello and played it for the first time. I've played on an acoustic cello for 15 years, and my new silent cello is mainly for practicing and portability when I don't have access to my acoustic. The cello sounds great when plugged into an amp or headphones, with the option to add a little or a lot of reverberation - this definitely helps, as solid-body instruments sound kind of dead without it. I have never tried the SVC-210, but perhaps the resonating chamber would sound better. I didn't have the luxury of trying either instrument, but decided to save some money. I would be interested to hear someone's comparison of the three Yamaha's. The cello, when unplugged, sounds pretty bad - a very muted, whiny-sound. I might invest in an effects pedal or an amp later in the future to use the cello to its full potential, but for now, it's a great practice instrument. It feels mostly like a regular acoustic instrument, so you don't have to change much about how you play the instrument. (Posted on 8/27/11)
