William Cooper Glenn's approach to playing the cello was characterized by a blend of traditional and innovative techniques, reflecting his unique style and background. He often used a vintage cello by the American maker Benjamin Wells, which was known for its warm, resonant tone that suited his contributions to various projects, including his work with Mazzy Star. This particular cello was notable for its rich, deep sound, which Glenn utilized to add a lush, melancholic quality to the band's music.

Glenn's cello work was frequently integrated into studio recordings and live performances. In the studio, he would employ a range of effects and amplifiers to enhance the cello's sound, creating a more expansive, ethereal quality that complemented Mazzy Star's dreamy soundscapes. This included using a preamp to adjust the cello's output and effects pedals to introduce reverb and delay, allowing him to experiment with different textures and atmospheres.

During live performances, Glenn's setup was minimal but effective. He typically used a high-quality carbon fiber bow, which provided greater durability and precision, allowing for expressive dynamics and nuanced articulation. The cello was often miked with a high-fidelity condenser microphone to capture its full range, ensuring that the subtle details of his playing were clearly transmitted to the audience. His choice of gear and the way he used it contributed to his distinctive sound, making his contributions to Mazzy Star's music both memorable and integral to the band's overall aesthetic.

The proof of William Cooper Glenn using this specific cello is supported by the image provided by The Instrument Place.
