Best Answer

When you look at the stage, the violins will occupy the left portion of the orchestra. The violas are situated in the middle of the orchestra while the cello is in the right part of the orchestra. The basses are situated behind the celloes and can stretch to where the violas are, if there is a good many basses in the orchestra.

It depends on how the conductor wants to arrange the orchestra. In most orchestra, all lot of the times school orchestras, the cellos will be on the far right, if you're looking at the stage. Some professional orchestras will have them sit in the middle left or middle right. I've sat in all three. The Violins I usually sit in the far left.

In an orchestra, the conventional order (facing) is Violin left, Viola centre, Cello right. Most Classical Music is written for that balance.

In the front row, with the principal and 2nd chairs of the rest of the string sections (except the basses, who sit in back).

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.
