‘’I'm Cello Femme, electric cellist from Spain, and I have to tell you that I'm really impressed with my cello! it sounds amazing, and the colour is perfect for my shows. I play House and Pop music in events around the world, and for me it is very important to feel comfortable with my instrument."


Best election ever!

Cello Femme


Simon McCorrey

Cellist and Composer

Simon’s solo live work uses solo cello through looping devices, guitar pedals and computer processing. Creates music regularly for theatre, contemporary dance, circus and film.

‘’My work is a combination of manipulated field recordings & object sounds, analogue synth with layered loop based atmospheric improvisations that explore the rich sonic possibilities of the cello through a host of treatments and effects chains. The Draco cello allows me to push effects like reverb and delay to extremes without worrying about feedback and has rich sound in its raw state like making it a pleasure to play."


Equipment used for live performance:- laptop running Ableton, Push 2, Keith McMillan Softstep 2, RME Fireface UFX, DPA 4099 mic.’

‘’Buying an electric cello is a great life decision. Electric cellos are stylish, “cool,” and downright fun to play. Since electric cellos are harder to find at local music shops and usually must be purchased online we have consolidated a list below of the best electric cellos."


Bridge Draco Series 4-String Electric Cello Blue Marble

"Certainly the most stylish electric cello on this list, the Bridge Draco is an excellent performance instrument. Designed for professional performers, the Draco offers an easy transition from an acoustic cello, with the benefits of low volume for practice, and high volume for performance with no feedback."


"It responds to varied bow strikes with varied harmonic content and can go from a whisper to a scream, all the while supplying an even tone across the range of the instrument."


"We highly recommend this electric cello for the professional looking to impress their audience."
