While plugged in, the Series+ Model 145+ cello keeps the natural warmth of a traditional cello while adding edge and a whole new dimension of musical possibilities. Ivan Dunov Prelude model VC145+ cellos provide remarkable sound, visual beauty, sturdiness, playability, and affordability. It is extremely rare to find student-grade instruments constructed of such fine tonewoods. Other features that make these instruments among the finest inexpensive student models available are the ebony pegs,fingerboards, and inlaid purfling. The unique pickup system is embedded into the spruce top of the instrument before varnishing with no disturbance to the bridge. Our proprietary 3.5 mm jack is used as the end button on the cellos and cello’s making it unnoticeable. Each Series+ instrument will come with a lightweight, low-profile cable that provides a seamless connection to your amplifier or individual playing setup, making this the easiest and most comfortable design to “plug in” on the market.
