The Magnetic Cello: Two Demos and an Explanation

Published on Mar 7, 2013

http://www.Magnetovore.com

"Two short demos and then an explanation of the Magnetic Cello.
After four years of development, the instrument is finally finished and something I'd be proud to sell. There are currently only three full version Magnetic Cellos, and a few lucky musicians will be able to buy the instruments soon.

Check out Michael's other cello videos at http://www.youtube.com/vgcellomusic"


"The instrument is, of course, still experimental, and there are around 5 or 6 thousand little things I would change in how I built these instruments. But it is no longer a 'prototype'. I’m finally confident that this is an instrument an adventurous musician could pick up and play. And I’m confident that he could play both old classical pieces (in a somewhat different way) and wacky new sounds not possible on other instruments..."

Some of you might remember The Magnetic Cello from this post back in April of 2012.
