Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] electric cello? [music]

I listened to him doing eruption, the guy has a very fast bow to be able to play that song, I would say he is a good cellist.

So I have to admit I had never heard of the electric cello before
this, or at least the kind of electric cello seen here:

That said, this makes a lot of sense. To be brutally honest about it,
most classically trained players would be way up on the skills
distribution for rock, and cello in particular should be attractive
given its register, fretlessness, and bowed nature. That said, this
guy seems to be playing what I guess I would call a "modeling cello"
that is triggering samples or something as he bows it.

Any comments from the more musically savvy? This guy isn't bad, but
there are literally thousands of cellists out there who could probably
toast him if they wanted to.
