About
The Artillery Shell Cello by Soundiron is a truly unique orchestral instrument that defies convention. Based on a traditional cello design, this one-of-a-kind instrument features an empty metal artillery shell as its body, giving it a captivating, eerie, and shimmering metallic resonance. The standard cello tailpiece and bridge are mounted directly onto the shell, with the top left open to allow the sound to resonate out. A curved metal rod has been affixed to the open-ended top, with a traditional cello fingerboard attached. Extending up beyond the fingerboard, the metal pole is topped with a combat helmet that houses a contact mic pickup. This special instrument was recorded with large diaphragm condenser microphones, capturing its rich, cinematic tone and evocative sonic character that will transport listeners to the battlefield.
