YAMAHA SILENT COMPACT CELLO INTRODUCED AT
SUMMER NAMM 2003
NASHVILLE, TN—Yamaha Corporation of America,
Band & Orchestral Division, will unveil the SVC-50SK Silent
Compact Cello at Summer NAMM 2003. The innovative Silent Compact
Cello was designed to provide a strategic, lower price-point
option for new electric cellists and students. Made of Alder
wood (which is also used in electric guitars), players of alternative
string music styles will appreciate the look, sound and feel
of this cello.
Ideal as a first electric instrument purchase
or for players looking to practice silently or travel conveniently,
the Silent Compact Cello will also appeal to schools looking
to form a more cost-effective electric string quartet. The unique
Silent Practice feature will enhance sound, allow amplification,
or input of accompaniment. The new Silent Compact Cello follows
the extreme success of the original, selected from more than
a thousand industrial design entries to receive a Bronze Industrial
Design Excellence Award (IDEA).
This instrument is perfect for first time buyers,
especially high school or college students. With a clear sound,
a contemporary design, new strings and body material, and a
similar piezo pick up system to that of the popular SVC-100
Silent Electric Cello and SVC-200 Silent Compact Cello, the
SVC-50SK is expected to ship in August. Equipped with a detachable
knee support, the cello is extremely portable, while the chest
support and soft case make it convenient and easy to handle.
The SVC-50SK Silent Compact Cello can be used
in conjunction with Yamaha's AS60 powered speaker and the ST5
Digital Effects System.
"The SVC-50SK continues Yamaha's tradition
of crafting quality silent instruments and perfectly complements
the Silent Series line," says Michael Schaner, Assistant
Manager, Strings, Yamaha Band & Orchestral Division.
