NS Design CR5 Electric Cello (5-String) - Amber Flame Maple - Used in 12 Film Scores

Pristine Professional Instrument | Master Service (€380) May 2026 | Studio Use Only

As a professional film composer, I am offering my NS Design CR5 Electric Cello for sale. This stunning 5-string instrument in the Amber Flame Maple finish has been an integral part of my studio setup and has been featured in 12 international film scores. It delivers the unmatched tonal range and clarity that only the CR-series with its 18V preamp can provide.

• Bow Service: The included original carbon fiber bow has been freshly rehaired by the luthier (€130 value).
• Fresh Power: Equipped with two brand-new VARTA Longlife Max Power batteries (installed May 2026) for maximum headroom and crystal-clear recording.

Technical Setup

• Model: CR5 (5-String version, currently setup with a high E).
• Electronics: Active 18V system with the Polar Pickup System (Switchable for Pizzicato and Arco dynamics).
• Accessories: Includes the original heavy-duty tripod stand, freshly serviced carbon bow, and the padded NS Design gig bag.

Provenance & About the Seller

This cello has been my primary studio instrument for over a decade. As a professional film composer, I rely on gear that is 100% reliable and sonically perfect. You can see my studio environment and listen to the projects this CR5 was used for at my website: MarkusWegmannmusic.com

I am selling it only because my workflow has shifted, and this masterpiece deserves to be played more often. Buying this CR5 means getting a perfectly played-in, master-serviced instrument for significantly less than the current retail price (approx. €5,000 for cello + bow).
