Notes:
This cello is part of my Off-Beat series. It was built in collaboration with Bay Area cellist, composer, songwriter, Mia Pixley. Mia plays “Percussive” style cello and we thought that the carving on the body would give her some new sound options.
The Ripple theme is based on sound or water waves.
