And it sounds amazing! I kept the same settings on my Blackstar tube amp and pedals from the last time I played my 7 string guitar, and it's like wow! I could play some Rush on this thing! Aside from that I was able to play scales the first time i picked it up, much easier to play than Violin or Viola (for me anyway) even got a little vibrato on my first try. Not bad for Cello day 1

I'll put it through my Fishman Artist Loudbox next, that'll give me more traditional Cello tones. I'll post some videos as soon as I feel confident.

NS Design is definitely a great builder.

I'm using a Codabow Prodigy with Yumba rosin and it appears to be a great combo.

For sure! There are several songs by Led Zep I'd like to touch on besides that one, No Quarter, The Rover, Achilles Last Stand to name a few

Haha..Kashmir stuck out for the dadgad guitar part and doing that on cello. Might work. Seems like there are strings playing behind the guitar on that.
