electric cello
Plugged-in bass violin
An electric cello is a cello designed to be amplified electronically rather than acoustically.
Unlike traditional cellos with hollow wooden bodies that resonate sound, electric cellos often have solid or minimal bodies and rely on pickups to convert string vibrations into electrical signals.
They're favored for performances requiring amplification or electronic effects: She played electric cello in a rock band.
