<div> Le Plioncello – Le violoncelle qui voyage enfin librement 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Je m’appelle Bruno Bardoux, connu sur les réseaux sous le nom Sailor Kea.
</div>
<div>J’ai inventé le Plioncello, un violoncelle pliant et électrique de 45 cm une fois replié, qui tient dans une valise cabine. Oui, vraiment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tout est parti d’un constat simple : voyager avec un violoncelle est un casse-tête. En découvrant les nombreux témoignages de musiciennes et musiciens confrontés à ces difficultés, même avec des instruments électriques, j’ai décidé que ça devait changer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>J’en ai parlé à mon professeur, Sébastien Charles, immédiatement séduit par l’idée, qui m’a offert son aide bénévole.
</div>
<div>Peu après, j’ai intégré l’orchestre « À vos pupitres », dirigé par Cyrille Tricoire, premier violoncelle et supersoliste à l’Opéra de Montpellier, un projet unique réunissant 70 violoncelles.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cyrille cherchait depuis longtemps le violoncelle le plus court et le plus compact possible. Lorsqu’il a découvert le Plioncello, son enthousiasme a été immédiat. Lui aussi m’a accompagné, avec une aide précieuse et déterminante.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pendant plus d’un an, Sébastien Charles et Cyrille Tricoire sont venus régulièrement à mon atelier, m’apportant des conseils essentiels et me faisant gagner un temps précieux.
</div>
<div>Les deux premiers Plioncellos leur sont destinés.
</div>
<div>Je me contenterai du troisième.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>En parallèle, j’ai développé une viole de gambe électrique à éclisses démontables, aujourd’hui aboutie. Ce travail m’a permis d’affiner le choix et le positionnement des piezos, un savoir-faire directement intégré au Plioncello.
</div>
<div>Vous pouvez la voir et l’entendre sur Instagram @sailorkea, jouée par Luc Gaugler.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Aujourd’hui, le prototype du Plioncello est terminé et fonctionne parfaitement, comme vous pouvez le voir dans la vidéo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Pour passer à l’étape suivante, j’ai besoin de vous.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> À quoi servira votre soutien ?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Votre contribution permettra de :
</div>
<div>	•	fabriquer des charnières invisibles sur mesure
</div>
<div>	•	produire des pièces mécaniques de haute qualité
</div>
<div>	•	concevoir des housses ou cases adaptées
</div>
<div>	•	constituer un stock de bois sélectionné
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>En soutenant ce projet, vous ne financez pas seulement un instrument.
</div>
<div>Vous participez à une nouvelle liberté pour les violoncellistes, qu’ils soient voyageurs, étudiants ou professionnels.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Merci de croire en ce projet et de l’aider à prendre son envol.

<div> The Plioncello – The cello that finally travels freely
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Bruno Bardoux, known on social media as Sailor Kea.
</div>
<div>I am the inventor of the Plioncello, a foldable electric cello that measures just 45 cm (18 inches) when folded—small enough to fit in a carry-on suitcase. Yes, really.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The idea started from a simple observation: traveling with a cello is a real challenge. After seeing countless testimonials from musicians struggling with transport issues—even with electric cellos—I knew something had to change.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I first shared the idea with my teacher, Sébastien Charles, who was immediately drawn to the concept and generously offered his support.
</div>
<div>Shortly afterward, I joined the orchestra “À vos pupitres”, conducted by Cyrille Tricoire, principal cellist and super-soloist at the Montpellier Opera—a unique project bringing together 70 cellos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cyrille had long been searching for the shortest and most compact cello possible. When he discovered the Plioncello, his enthusiasm was immediate. He too became deeply involved, offering invaluable and decisive support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For more than a year, Sébastien Charles and Cyrille Tricoire regularly visited my workshop, providing essential advice and helping me save an enormous amount of time.
</div>
<div>The first two Plioncellos are dedicated to them.
</div>
<div>I will take the third one.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At the same time, I developed an electric viola da gamba with removable ribs, a project that is now fully completed. This work allowed me to refine my understanding of piezo selection and placement, expertise that directly benefits the Plioncello.
</div>
<div>You can see and hear this instrument on Instagram @sailorkea, played by Luc Gaugler.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, the Plioncello prototype is finished and works perfectly, as you can see in the video.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> To move on to the next stage, I need your support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> What will your contribution be used for?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support will help to:
</div>
<div>	•	manufacture custom invisible hinges
</div>
<div>	•	produce high-quality mechanical parts
</div>
<div>	•	design custom cases or gig bags
</div>
<div>	•	build a selected wood stock, offering real choice to musicians
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By supporting this project, you are not just funding an instrument.
</div>
<div>You are helping create a new freedom for cellists—travelers, students, and professionals alike.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for believing in this project, sharing it, and helping it take flight.
</div>
<div> The Plioncello is ready to travel. 
</div>
<div><br />
