Mutes Mutes The saying goes ‘Good mutes make good neighbours’! But mutes aren’t only to please the neighbours; sure it helps keep the volume down if you’re spending hours practicing but then some scores may also require you to play softer in parts. The heavy metal or ultra rubber mutes are very quite while the tourte mute is ideal for leaving on the strings while you’re playing so it can be engaged at any time.

CelloBello’s mission has always been to foster a global cello community, and to that end we hope this new database may help encourage new curiosities and explorations into this repertoire that, historically, has not been equally represented on our concert stages or in our music schools. We envision a future in classical music where racial equity and representation are the norm, not the exception, and hope this database might take us a step towards this vision by easing access to information about repertoire that is more inclusive of our diverse communities.

Tuning pegs Tuning pegs for violin, viola and cello are available in a variety of shapes and woods, the most common being the ebony pegs in the Parisian style. The Posture peg is an innovative invention allowing cellists to play comfortably without the C and G string peg getting in the way. The precise engineering on the Wittner fine tune pegs has revolutionized the way student instruments can be tuned to precision with the same authentic look.Shoulder rests Violin and Viola Shoulder rests are very personal and what suits one player may not suit another. Many young students start off with the Huber pad or Jegro shoulder pad before moving on to a shoulder rest. Most teachers would then have a preferred option – Kun and Wolf are the long standing favourites but there are now many very good and comfortable alternatives. If you’re undecided and in the area you’re most welcome to spend some time in the shop trying them to find one that suits you.

ToneRite ToneRite A key to great tone is constantly playing in your instrument. The Tonerite is the worlds most advanced and premier play-in device, significantly accelerating the play-in process and providing increased tone, playability and balance. The secret behind the Tonerite is its ability to continually produce and efficiently transfer vibrational energy into the instrument whist its not being played. The Tonerite makes all this possible in a nearly silent, high quality and portable manor. The Tonerite is available for all bowed string instruments and is now in 220V so no longer needs a power converter. Instrument stands & hangers Stringed Instrument stands Stringed Instrument stands are an essential. There’s nothing more risky than putting a violin or viola down on a bed or standing a cello or Double bass in the corner while you have a break from practicing! One mishap could be the end of the instrument or at best a very expensive repair. Stands for violins (or violas), cellos and basses are essential for every player. If putting your violin away every time is hindering you practicing, try a violin wall hangar from Hercules or K&M – the instrument is right where you need it, when you need it! Ensemble Sheet Music What is listed here is obviously a very small selection of the string ensemble music that is available. Amongst others, we have access to the huge Hal Leonard catalogue listing hundreds of string ensemble pieces for String Orchestra and ensembles ranging from Easy traditional to classic to Pop specials! For more details and for prices please give us a call. Cello strings are most often either all-metal or are wound metal over a core made gut (the traditional material for strings for instruments in the violin family) or synthetic materials. Metal strings are usually louder and brighter; gut and synthetic strings are deeper and more well-rounded in tone. The most popular brands are Pirastro, Thomastik-Infeld, and Larsen. Players often mix string brands and types. If you are looking for a beginner 4/4 size Cello and don't want to break your bank account, my partner and I recommend this instrument.Synthetic Double bass bows

Synthetic/Carbon fibre Double Bass bows offer playing qualities that are consistent and often comparable to much more expensive wooden Double Bass bows. It is therefore possible to produce a very reliable, balanced and consistent bow for a low price. Carbon Fibre Double Bass bows are not affected by temperature or humidity variations.
