Carbon Fiber Cello

When playing a mezzo-forte carbon fiber violin or cello for the first time – the reaction is always one of surprise. It’s hard to believe that a material other than wood can sound so good, with incredible warmth, brilliance and projection. It is pure fun and you won’t want to stop playing. And you won’t have to in any weather or climate!

From -20 to 50 °C, from 0 to 100% humidity, you can always rely on your carbon fiber instrument.

Carbon Fiber String Bass (With Detachable Neck!)

The mezzo-forte Carbon Fiber Basses are at the bleeding edge in instrument design and manufacture. The strong and lightweight carbon makes it the most versatile performance instrument available and sounds as sharp as it looks!

These basses are unique due to their custom "detachable neck" design. The neck simply slides and locks into place and is held on under string tension. Removing the tension allows the neck to be removed for transport and safety.
