Unfortunately, not many. They think violin and viola are better, which is not true, none of them are better, they all are equally great. If you are thinking about cello, you may want to have long arms, it helps with getting perfect sound on your instrument.

I'm sorry, but your answer is really not at all correct. You may be entitled to your opinions, but not your incorrect facts. A symphony orchestra may have from 8 to 12 cellos; that's hardly 'not many.' In fact, in an 80-member symphony orchestra, the cello section usually constitutes at least 10 percent of the total orchestra! I don't know who you reference when you claim "they think violin and viola are better" but that's a totally absurd statement. And as for arm length? Apparently you know little to nothing about the cello.

What role does the cello play in its ensemble?

The main purpouse of the cello is to support violins with bass sounds or a secodary melody. The cello was given more of a secondary role in orchestral playing until Antonio Dvorak gave the cello a important role in orchestra. Early cellists were not able to show the expressive qualities that modern day cellists are able to convey. Part of the reason for this is that the cello strings were made out of gut instead of steel.

Which one is better the electric cello or the cello?

It really depends on what you're preference is, what you're playing, and where you're playing. If you prefer the electric cello, go ahead. If you like the regular wooden cello, it's fine. If you're playing rock, I suggest the electric cello. If you play more classy-jazzy style, go with the regular cello. If you are playing solo on stage, go with what you prefer. If you are in an orchestra, go with the original cello.
