Acoustic Soul with an Electric Edge
Crafted for cellists who want to push boundaries, the Yamaha Silent Series SVC300C delivers a bold, energetic sound from a collapsible, easily transportable instrument. This flagship-tier electric cello features Yamaha's sophisticated SRT Powered System, providing you with the rich resonance and authentic response of an acoustic instrument with two sound modes — Performer and Recording — alongside EQ, Volume, and Blend controls for comprehensive sound customization. Moreover, its piezo pickup and studio-quality preamp deliver a crisp, natural sound that tackles rock, pop, and experimental music with equal assurance. Additionally, the onboard reverb simulates an optimal acoustic environment, and it features a headphone output and a built-in tuner. To top it off, geared tuning pegs and a synthetic resin tailpiece with per-string fine tuners ensure precise intonation. Combining stage-ready aesthetics with powerful tone shaping, the Silent Series SVC300C offers modern electric cellists a tight, expressive sound that stands apart, whether you're practicing quietly, performing in a packed arena, or recording with ear-grabbing effects.

Experience true acoustic resonance with Yamaha's SRT Powered System
At Sweetwater, we understand that silent practice often comes with a compromise in tone. That's why the Silent Series SVC300C features Yamaha's innovative SRT Powered System, enabling it to faithfully re-create the natural body resonance of a full-sized acoustic cello — all within a compact, collapsible body. By accurately simulating the natural sustain, decay, and ambient character of an acoustic instrument, SRT Powered enables the SVC300C to give cellists a lifelike playing experience, complete with the depth and organic warmth of a vibrating acoustic body. Moreover, SRT Powered enables you to blend this studio-quality sound with the direct signal from the SVC300C's piezo pickup, with dedicated Performer and Recording sound modes, plus onboard EQ and Blend controls, offering even greater versatility for both live performance and creative recording. Finally, a proprietary Yamaha chip provides warm and natural ambience that you can adjust with the dedicated Reverb knob.
High-tech design meets natural beauty
The Yamaha Silent Series SVC300C features a compact, foldable design that not only makes transport easier, but also makes it stand out visually onstage. It delivers an edgier tone than a full-bodied electric cello, especially suited for rock or pop performances. The SVC300C's exterior flaunts a natural wood texture. Moreover, the thinly coated frame, body, and neck highlight the natural woodgrain, enabling you to enjoy the unique organic personality of real wood.
Great live acoustic sound with no feedback
Another benefit of the Silent Series SVC300C is its impact on live performances. With onboard reverb effect, you can deliver the same miked-up cello sound to your audience that you hear during practice. Additionally, the absence of a large acoustic body eliminates feedback issues from loud stage volumes. This allows you to play confidently anywhere onstage, knowing your audience hears precisely what you hear.
