They can also be plugged into amplifiers and headphones, so players have the ability to adjust based on their venue. Putting a mic on an acoustic instrument is often challenging, especially when it comes to feedback, and electric cellos don&#8217;t usually deal with that issue. You also get unique sound qualities with electric cellos, which is ideal for experimental players who are playing in jazz or rock bands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does an electric cello feel different?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While the look will be more unconventional, they&#8217;re meant to handle similarly to an acoustic cello. You should feel the same resistance from the strings, the fingerboard should handle similarly, and any bouts and braces should rest against you like an acoustic one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cecilio CECO-1BK Electric Cello This is the perfect hybrid cello.
