Key Features
The Yamaha SVC50 Silent Cello Full Size is ideal for students, travelling players, and anyone needing silent practice without compromising feel. This full-size electric cello keeps the classic playing experience intact with a maple neck, ebony fingerboard, and maple bridge.
You’ll find a natural response under the fingers, while its piezo pickup ensures your sound is clear and consistent. The built-in reverb options help create a room-like sound in headphones, making practice sessions more enjoyable. With its Aux-in, you can play along to tracks, and the included soft case and chest support mean it's ready to go wherever you need it.

The SVC50 is designed for quiet practice without sacrificing the natural touch and balance of a traditional cello. Its alder body and detachable beech knee supports help keep the cello stable while playing seated, just like an acoustic instrument. The maple neck and ebony fingerboard ensure a familiar feel, making transitions between this and an acoustic cello smooth and intuitive.
Three built-in reverb modes—Room, Hall 1, and Hall 2—give you the option to tailor your sound while practising or performing. This means you can simulate the feel of playing in a real acoustic space, even when wearing headphones. These options are great for keeping your playing expressive and enjoyable during silent practice.
With its Aux-in jack, the SVC50 lets you plug in a phone or music player and jam along with your favourite tracks or backing accompaniments. The Line Out and Phones Out jacks also provide flexible output options, whether you’re sending your signal to headphones, an amp, or a recording setup.
Weighing just 3.5kg, the SVC50 is easy to carry to lessons, rehearsals, or gigs. It comes with a soft case, stereo adapter, audio cable, and a chest support—everything you need to get started right away. The cello runs on two AA batteries, giving up to 35 hours of playtime, or you can use an optional Yamaha adaptor for mains power.
When you register your instrument you can get a three-month premium subscription to Tomplay where you can access over 40,000 scores with backing tracks. You are able to filter by musical style, composer, difficulty and accompaniment type and interact with the scores. The pieces are all recorded by professional musicians and you can control the tempo and even record yourself playing. If you wish, you can also print and annotate your score and create loops to focus on those more difficult passages. For more information, please see the Yamaha/Tomplay website.
