Best Answer

On an existing cello, adding a pickup would be the simplest way.

There are several pickups available for cellos on the market. Doing a Google search for 'pickup for cello' gets several results. It is saved as a bit.ly link, but those don't work in Wikianswers.

The URL for the Google search is posted in the Related Links, but if you have problems with the link for the google search, then just go directly and do the search. I'm directing you to the search, because there are numerous available, and it's not the place here to recommend one over another.

What is the difference between an electric cello and a acoustic cello?

How is an electric cello different to an acoustic cello?

Well, it's a bit like asking how an acoustic guitar is different to an electric one.An electric cello is shaped very differently to an acoustic one; it looks kind of a stick with strings and knee rests, if you can picture that. And, of course, it plugs into an amplifier, so the sound is a lot louder. This makes it good for bands and large music groups, because in situations like thee acoustic cellos tend to get drowned out. I'm told an electric cello is more difficult to play than an acoustic one.Oh, and electric cellos only come in full size.

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.
