Sinuous and bold, the lines of the Draco cello beg to be stared at, and its curves are ideal for showing off the mesmerizing color shifts of the purple green pearl custom finish. As the light falls across the sweeping lines of the instrument, each plane of its body shows off a different color. From emerald green, to deep teal, to dark blue, magenta, and purple, this cello gives you a ton of stage presence at no extra charge, andlooks amazing in direct sunlight or under stage lights.
The Bridge Draco is a cello that feels like "home" to classical players, and it beautifully embodies, the concept of an instrument that's as much an art object as it is a cellist's cello. Designed by Bridge instruments in the UK, the Draco cello is an amazingly affordable, great-sounding electric cello that looks sleek and modern enough for any amplified setting. With a body that's molded from a carbon fiber/Kevlar® composite, the Draco provides both excellent tone and amazing durability for the traveling cellist.
This cello is more than just a pretty face! Its pickup is built into the bridge, so it's taking its sound not just from the vibration of the strings, but also from the acoustic body resonance provided by the Draco's semi-hollow design. The built-in preamp gives you volume and tone controls on-board. Dark, rich tones accurately recreate the range of the cello, with just a bit of edginess to remind you that this is an electric cello. Paired with the right amplifier, you can easily play any acoustic style of music, from bluegrass and Celtic to country or gypsy jazz. When you're ready to rock, the Draco cello is up to the task -- it works great with high-gain effects, with almost no instance of feedback.
