THIS IS MY HOMEMADE ASHBORY CELLO I MADE OUT OF A 5" DIAMETER ABS PLASTIC PIPE IT HAS THE PIEZO PICKUP FROM MY OTHER VIDEO WITH ADDED TONE AND VOLUME CONTROLS. INSTEAD OF USING SILICONE RUBBER STRINGS FOUND ON THE ASHBORY BASS, I USE SHOCK CORD SO I CAN BOW IT LIKE A CELLO. ALTHOUGH YOU CAN STILL USE ASHBORY STRINGS. THE ABS FOAM-CORE PIPE RESONATES A LOT BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD; WAY BETTER THAN PVC PIPE. I MADE IT IN ABOUT 20 HOURS COUNTING THE DESIGN STAGE I'M THINKING ABOUT MAKING A WHOLE SET WITH A VIOLIN, VIOLA, CELLO (FULL SIZE), AND DOUBLE BASS. AND THE BEST PART ABOUT IT; IT ONLY COSTS $40.00 TO MAKE. COMPAIRED TO A $250 ASHBORY OR ELECTRIC CELLO!
