This TK 5 string MIDI/electric cello was custom built for Paolo Valladolid.
The instrument (seen here), is loaded with high end custom features like an RMC Piezo polydrive midi system, and a high end Bogen tripod system.
This TK Electric/MIDI capable 5 string Cello features:
Goncolo Alves (Tiger Wood) fingerboard.
25+ year aged Maple neck.
5A Flame Maple top, with an Ash body.
The strings are tuned low to high:
C-G-D-A-E
A large part of this instruments phenomenal tone comes from the RMC Polydrive II Cello pickup system
 The Polydrive II drives a multi (individual string) output for Hex/Midi devices; such as the Zeta violin Synthony MIDI system or Roland VG-8 and VG-88 systems.
I have been playing, as well as designing and building, bowed instruments since 1990.
This Cello is the result of years of careful study of these fine instruments.
Note:
Please see some of my other bowed instruments that I call the Vicellotar, and the Vicellotar 'V'
