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.

Which one is more popular cello or bass?

If you are talking about classical music, i think that the cello is used more often rather than double bass, as the tonality of the double bass is too low to be heard. On the other hand, if you are talking in terms of jazz music, the double bass is used more often, as it helps to maintain the beat and the bassline of the music.

What is the best way to learn a three quarter cello?

A three quarter cello is no different than a regular cello other than it's size. The 3 quarter cello is smaller and suitable for younger players, but it makes the exact same pitches and works exactly the same way. You want to learn to play the cello, and the best way to do it is either in a school setting or in a private lesson. I learned the cello in a combination of the two, and I am now one of the top players in my school. I obviously didn't try to learn the cello myself without a teacher, so you're going to need another answer for that. Hope you have fun learning to play the cello!


Why do you think there needs to be more viola and cello players than tuba players in an orchestra?

Uhmmm... Because celli and violas don't make as much sound as tubas, and you can have only one tuba in the whole orchestra, and have it overpower all of the other instruments, but when you only have one cello, it's hard to hear them~same with the violas.
