Finally, after sitting around for so many centuries, cello players can now stand up and be counted!

SAY IT LOUD: “I’m a cellist and I’m proud!

The amazing Cobra cello is a beautiful, lightweight, full scale electric cello featuring our unique self supporting system, which gives you the choice of standing or sitting while you play. It is comprised of a comfortable shoulder harness which the Cobra is attached to. This gives you the freedom of movement to leap about the stage and push your pesky guitarist out of the way.

Custom-built to order, just like our Vipers, the sleek and stunning Cobra electric cello features the same mind blowing richness of sound that all our instruments are known for. Available in 4, 5, or 6 string models, fretted or fretless, the Cobra grants you sonic access to earth shaking low end, clear crisp highs, and glorious midrange.

Frets

Frets allow cellists to play precisely in tune every time. Our low profile frets will allow you to utilize traditional playing techniques without compromising the beautiful subtleties of a fretless cello. You can now play faster, more precise notes and chords with consistent accuracy.

Phantom Frets

Phantom frets are simply visual lines inlayed in the fingerboard which show each interval. Essentially they are frets that you can’t feel, but give you visual reference so the instrument plays just like a fretless acoustic.

Fretless

Traditional acoustic style fingerboard.

Bridge pickups: Our pickups are built into the bridge to give unmatched tone replication and isolation.

Barbera Pickup: Exceptional sonic range and unsurpassed tonal quality. This multi piezo bridge produces beautiful sound fit for heavy rock, classical, jazz and anything else you can throw at it. All Cobras come with Barbera twin hybrid pickups (2 transducers per string).

Average street prices range from $3,700 – $5,700, depending on the options you choose (number of strings, fretted or fretless, type of custom finish).
