They do sell NS Design strings specifically for their cello. I was looking at them. They are ~$110. I have seen various sets of cello strings online for $10 and I've seen some sets for $200+. I'm not sure what is a good price for strings for a non-professional, amateur 'just for fun' cellist. And are there better options?
Playing closer to the bridge is certainly something I noticed after watching my video (which is why I video myself!). I think it's the way I'm sitting with the electric cello. Sometimes it's difficult to get a feel for where to position the NS Design cello since there aren't any touch points (and I'm playing this cello after having had a 10 year break).
