I am really honored and excited to be a part of the NS Design family. The craftsmanship put into their instruments is amazing, and I’m excited to be able to add my musical voice to their ensemble of amazing artists. I chose NS Design because the unique sound and mobility these instruments offer is exceptional. Being a classically trained cellist, I had only known playing the cello while sitting, but as I’ve grown as a recording artist and performer, I found myself desiring more freedom than what the traditional cello could offer in sound and mobility. The NS Design CR4 Electric Cello was a perfect match; it can be played sitting, standing, or even while walking around. It gives me a lot more freedom for expression in live shows and in the studio.—Kendall Ramseur
