Steinberger NS CR5 Electric Cello 5 String Amber, 2015

On March 27, 2019 /

NS Designs, founded by Ned Steinberger, develops innovative instruments like the Steinberger NS CR5 Electric Cello – in 4,5, and 6 string versions, extending the possibilities of acoustic instruments previously used only in concert halls.Previously we’ve reviewed an NS CR Series ‘Upright Bass’, and unsurprisingly there are a number of similarities between that and the CR5 Electric Cello. The construction style is almost identical, with a compact Rock Maple body and set Maple neck, with a traditional hand-graduated Ebony fingerboard.

Now that I’ve had it for 24 hours all I can say is WOW!

Now that I’ve had it (Manzer 1980) for 24 hours all I can say is WOW! I took it in to my local L&M to order a new case for it and the guys were literally lined up to see and try it out. Also some patrons came over hearing there was a Linda Manzer in the store. Anyway, I do not regret the investment. Out of the 14 hours of ownership…. I’ve played for at least 10 and showed it off for 2. I think my Taylor 914ce will be looking for a new home. No comparison.

Thanks for everything.

Great job installing the pickup in my old Martin.

I’d like to thank Jay in Repairs for doing such a great job installing the pickup in my old Martin. It seems to play much better too with the different bridge.
It is hard to explain to the uninitiated how nuance plays such a huge part in our musical adventures. And it is strange that after 45 my D35 still sounds like me!
Many thanks

Thank You All So Much For Re-uniting Me With My Old Buddy D35.

Dear Twelfth Fret. To the folks in sales and repair, especially Dave H. in service who did a great job, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the care and concern that you have shown for my old Martin D35. You honoured my request for the fret dressing and thank you for the neck straightening, strings etc. And my gratitude to Grant for supporting this decision.

Thank you all so much for re-uniting me with my old buddy D35 which has been with me for my entire recording career since 1973. You have made it possible to continue with this tradition.

Twelfth Fret proves to be the best pro shop in Canada, and for good reason.
