So this is my cello. His name is Charlie. I took a closeup of my pickup too.

wow he's pretty, but i think you need to have your bridge moved.

not badly, just tap the C string foot a few times closer to the fingerboard. Shouldn't affect it much where it is.

Thanks, I actually adjusted it shortly after taking the picture. I was too laxy to take more pics.

The amount of times ive tried to get someone to take an 'action shot' do they ever do it?? Noooo... they sit there holding my camera wondering what they shouldbe doing with it.

There's a lot of photographers into the local music scene around here. If there's a band playing at a bar, you can bet there will be some cameras.

*Hugs Charlie* Preeeeeetty... What kind-o-cello is it? It really is quite lovely. Oh and I love that last pic. I'm going to get some pertyful professional pics taken and I'll post those later, but sadly I have no action shots.

Charlie is simply labeled as a copy of a Stradivarius. He has a laminate top, which I know most hate, but somehow this cello has a good sound. We bought him when I was in High School, at a guitar shop. Someone had traded him in to buy a guitar.

poor cello, bad past... He has a bright future in you hands though!

K&K Big Twin. Got mine off ebay, I think it's around $40, and it works great.

thanks, does it just go in and out of the heart on the bridge or do you have to drill a hole?

by **giggleycraft** » Wed Jul 14, 2010 1:04 pm

haha, I didn't look at the picture, this was the first pickup I bought. I don't remember the name, but it broke within a few months. It did just go through the sweetheart, and attach with a wing nut. The big twin is 1000 times better than this one. It has little pads that just slip under the feet of the bridge.
