Thanks for posting this! I'm getting an electric cello like yours ( except different shape ) for my birthday. :) I love the metal sound, do you have to have a special amp to make it? Will an electric guitar pedal work do you think?

@Roddy: I use my brother's Line 6 amp which has 4 preset effects: metal, crunch, something, and something else. He plays the guitar and I play cello but we both use the amp interchangeably. As long as your electric cello has a pickup I believe it will work just fine for both the amp and pedal, but I've never used a pedal before.

@DanCasillaskate @DanCasillaskate It's a Dotzauer exercise, #38; Book 2

[dianasantosmartins]

please, i am trying to find an electric cello, i play a "normal" cello but some times when i am stuck in some part of a music or a studie (i play dotzauer studies as well =D) i think i'm desturbing my family and neighbours (i know it stupid but i cant avoid it) so i'm trying to get one of this not to disturb anyone but myself using the headphones. but they are all so expensive, i'm from portugal so do you know where can i buy one online or something no so expensive as the yamaha's silent cello?

@DreamyGranola Dude who cares. And besides, if you're playing in a giant stadium with 10,000 people, it's good to have something you can plug in. That's what it's meant for. Stop being a moral-fag who thinks he's the master of music and decides what everything should be. Metal can be masterful and beautiful too. So why not play on a Cello to express the absolute serenity between the softest of music and hardest of music.

i mad that they wont let me play my eletric cello but i still take it so i got detenion but it was worth it

@DreamyGranola I agree u really shouldn't play classical music on electric instruments (though I did see a violist in a symphony playing some kind of hollowed electric viola) But electric instruments can be used for other music, not just strange heavy rock songs, there are good songs that use electric cellos. btw ur right, cello should be studied on a normal instrument, even if you will play an electric cello some day; just like if u want to play jazz piano you still should start with classical

@DreamyGranola Stuck-up asshole much?

[DreamyGranola]

Firstly, no. No orchestra will EVER allow an electric instrument to participate. Music composed for beautiful, natural, acoustic instruments should not be violated with a harsh, brutal, metallic sound. Hand crafted cellos are sensitive and can express the subtleties of the most emotive music, which this cheap, mass produced cello most definitely can't! You should, if you're serious about the cello, learn on an acoustic, and learn to respect classical music rather than the vulgar music of today.

I notice you play backwards ie your hands are switched. are you right or left handed in real life? Am going to self teach myself and am left handed what do you suggest.

[dreamingLEENApro0]

Is this cello really worth buying? I'm trying to find myself one for a cheap price..
