• [Video Release] Cellist Udai Shika Delivers In-Depth Reviews of Two PLAYTECH Cellos!

  

  2026/11/04

  We have released two videos featuring reviews and demonstrations of PLAYTECH’s PVC244 acoustic cello and PEC100BR electric cello. The videos feature cellist Udai Shika, a member of Bank Band who has performed with and arranged string parts for numerous top artists, including ONE OK ROCK and Hiroji Miyamoto, both in the studio and onstage.
  
  The PVC244 is a solid-wood model that defies conventional expectations with its remarkably affordable price. Despite being one of the most affordable cellos on the market, it delivers a rich, authentic resonance. Meanwhile, the PEC100BR is a versatile electric cello suitable for both silent late-night practice with headphones and creative sound shaping with effects pedals.
