Through Yamaha’s advanced technology and design, cellists can experience the rich acoustic environment of a concert hall without having to be there. The Silent Cello™ Series offers a selection of three uniquely designed instruments, each of which features a special chip created by Yamaha. This chip puts the full, rich tone of the Silent Cello™ into the virtual environment of an auditorium giving you the realistic impression that you are performing on stage.
  Thorough consultations with cellists led to designs that offer the natural warmth and feel of acoustic instruments. Their “silent™” characteristics keep acoustic sound to a minimum letting you practice at times and in places you wouldn’t have before. All three models feature easy to use functions along with playability that fits individual styles and techniques. Designed with maximum portability in mind, the SVC200 and SVC50 offer slim designs that quickly break down for easy transport.
