 Electric cello - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The electric cello has not yet achieved the status of the ubiquitous electric guitar, or even the widespread success of the electric violin.
First, most cellists play only classical music, for which an electric cello is generally deemed unacceptable, as its tone is generally quite different from that of an acoustic cello.
For most musicians who only wish to amplify their sound, an acoustic cello with some form of amplification is a better choice than an electric cello.

 Electric guitar
The electric guitar is used extensively in many popular styles of music, including blues, rock and roll, country music, pop music and jazz.
Electric guitars were originally designed by an assortment of luthiers,electronics buffs, and instrument manufacturers, in varying combinations.
In contrast to most stringed instruments, the electric guitar does not rely as extensively on the acoustic propertiesof its construction to amplify the sound produced by the vibrating strings; as such, the electric guitar does not need to benaturally loud, and its body can be virtually any shape.
