Full size black 4/4 cello is easy to hold and play and the chest support, when attached during performance, offers the natural feel and resonance of an acoustic cello. Protective gig bag and headphones are included!

The SVC-50 is designed with slim, compact dimensions that easily break down. The leg supports are a single unit design that is easily removed. Setup is fast and easy with large knobs that quickly attach and firmly fix the supports in place.

In addition to the reverb section, the instrument is also equipped with Auxiliary In, Line Out and Headphone Jacks. Four fine tuning adjusters, one per string, make precise tuning quick and easy.

Connect a compact disc player, mini disc player or cassette deck to the input jack to play along with your favorite recordings. With the output jack connected to a P.A., or external audio system, you can perform live.

Auxiliary volume control provides independent control over the volume of an external audio source. Operates on two SUM-3 (AA) size batteries or optional PA-3B or PA-3C AC power adaptors.

Silent electric cello with a solid-body, designed for practice and performance. Tremendous value in an entry-point electric cello.

Features:
• Removable lower bout leg supports
• Reliable gear-type tuning pegs
• Studio-quality on-board preamp
• Standard 1/4" plug
• Comes with protective gig bag

+ Nice build. Solid body, solid construction overall. + Convincing, nice cello sound. Not as complex as the higher end SVC-110 and 210 with their resonating chamber, but nothing disappointing. +Built in headphone amplifier, making practice anywhere very manageable. There is a reverb setting with a few room size settings as well, which is nice on the go. It's not as good as using external reverb, but nice to have when you're not plugging in to anything. You need to buy the higher end NS CR cello to have this feature from their lineup. + Leg support is very solid, chest support is decent. Nice to have some points of contact compared to having an electric cello that's just a stick. - Be aware that the stock strings are stiff and not particularly pleasant, however. I used Thomastik-Infeld Dominant (medium), and the sound quality increased dramatically. It sounds quite nice. To be fair, cellos in this price range don't tend to come stock with amazing strings. Should you get this one? In this price range, compared to the NS cello I feel like the Yamaha offers fairly good competition if you're looking for a do-all electric cello, due to the Yamaha being set up better for practice and offering a good sound for the price range. The NS NXt cello offers more value for the money if you are looking for something that will be plugged in whenever playing. The sound quality is very comparable, and it has a switchable piezo system that will optimize pickup for bowing or pizzicato on demand, and the base price is a bit lower.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
