I play the cello and am familiar with the Luis and Clark instruments. They are not for everyone. They sound very big, project well but lack the sweetness and neuance of a good wood instrument. Some will use them as an outdoor instrument as they are not affected by weather and are a bit more durable. I have talked to many who like them and others that don't. My recommendation would be to try one for a period of time before making a purchase choice. My favorite cello was a Carl Becker, wonderful. But the reality is that the very fine cello's make audio seem really really inexpensive.
Are there any Violin or Cello players out there?
I was reading a thread and one member mentioned that he was a professional musician. I was wondering if there were any of you that play the Violin or Cello.
I found an interesting company that manufactures both. They are made from Carbon Fiber, are said to sound terrific and are cheap, when compared to the cost of a really good wood instrument. The company is Luis and Clark.
Has anyone heard of them?
