Now that we have done "Can You Hear the Difference Between One Million Dollar & $5000 Cello?", I am curious to see if you can hear the difference between an NS electric cello thinkns.com/product-category/... and a real cello. What do you think? Again, I am playing for your Bach Cello Suite No. 1

Such a large difference. The acoustic is fuller, seems to have more range(?), and resonates more. Just better sounding. The electric cello is good for very tight spaces, that’s the key advantage but it has few benefits when compared to the other.

Great playing Wendy. The acoustic cello carries more tonal characteristics while the electric filtered all the nuances. Choosing between the two depends on the nature of project, whether it's a classical or pop event. The electric has its own tonal appeal for the pop listener.

I wouldn't mind having an electric cello - though I don't think I would go for a 6 string model. That said, I still prefer the sound of the acoustic Cello over the electric. Even in Impulse mode it can't achieve the subtle overtones of the acoustic, IMO.

@Owldaughter 3 жыл бұрын

This is such an interesting comparison. It comes down to overtones. There’s more complexity to the acoustic sound. You can also finesse the sound production by choosing where to play the note, since they resonate differently depending on where they’re produced on the fingerboard. The sound on the electric was more even overall, but that’s not necessarily what we’re looking for when interpreting a piece. I use my electric for technical practise, but for working on musicality and more complex/subtle sound production, I use my acoustic. There’s a whole different dimension to the sound of an acoustic.

I'm thinking about getting a cello and you might be able to help me, since you play e and a cello. :) I wonder if a heavy mute can make the a cello as silent as an e cello and if it's still fun to play with mute. Because my apartment has got paperthin walls, I will have to play muted all of the time and I wonder if a electric one makes more sense in that case. I love acoustic instruments but I play a digital piano, too and I prefered playing an electric violin (but the high sounds are not for me, that's why I'm looking for a cello instead) because of that. So I guess I would be better having an electric cello, too even as a beginner?

This makes me want to pick up cello again. My acoustic one is still at my parents' house but I'm tempted to save up for an electric one. A) it looks much easier to carry around and B) I live in a flat so being able to plug in headphones when practicing would be much more social 😂

@@erikak8187 I see/hear a problen in this comparison of two totally different types of instruments. The acoustic cello has a big resonating body perfectly shaped and carved to do its thing, whereas an electric cello has only a small transducer of 2.5" in length (not a microphone!) and nothing to resonate.The 'sound' is solely made by using the right combination of filters and amplification. Even the loudspeakers play a dominant role in the way the listener will appreciate the/any instrument. Miss Wendy does not show what type and size of speaker she is using, maybe only something like a desktop sized one? I really don't know. On the other hand - have a look at studio speakers as used in music production - a small sized active one (8x8x8") will cost you $ 1250 per piece - are you willing to pay such a sum just for everyday listening ? Most people, great musicians included, do not care about the quality of their electronic home sound equipment - don't ask how I know!

Yes. Absolutely. The electric cello has a nice deep zing to it. The classical cello has a deeper rich sound to it. I love them both can’t wait to see more videos with your Electric cello. Have you ever heard of Tina Gup she does a lot of industrial metal videos and she also does classical videos. Some of her industrial videos she plays both. Maybe you could connect with her and get some ideas and who knows what the tide may bring. She’s based out in Las Vegas. I have the up most respect for both of you. She plays a lot on the electric cello. She’s been playing for a very long time.I’m so happy for you branching out and getting an electric cello. I was wondering for a very long Tim if that was something you wanted to do. I wish I had said something to you sooner. You are going to have so much fun. You can’t go wrong.

That said my ear prefers the acoustic sound it’s warmer, and it’s simply has more soul, the sound seems to emanate in a more 3D manner. And the electric also seems more compressed and and less micro dynamics of the decay the resonance of the instrument. Whereas the electrics resonance is thin.

To me the electric cello sounds so much better for a deeper richer tone that you really fell resonate through your body/speakers. The Acoustic to me sounded higher pitched and eerie.

I for one like the electric cello more, but this is only because imo it blends the notes cleaner and has a much more bold sound, really hits the deeper notes as well as it carry’s them much smoother again in MY opinion. The acoustic is without a doubt the better of the two when it comes to natural sound, you have so much more control over each aspect of every note, but anyone with a an appreciation for the orchestra can notice these small tone changes but to the untrained ear they go unnoticed. I hope this gives a decent insight.

@ktverdun 2 жыл бұрын

Interesting comparison. I suspect the speaker for the electric cello was closer to the microphone than the acoustic cello was. The electric cello's volume might have been a little bit too high for where it was in relation to the microphone. The tone seemed both louder and more muffled, if that makes any sense and seemed to continue to ring for a while even after you move to the next note. The acoustic seemed to be brighter overall. There was more light and shade between the notes and felt much more expressive.

from my point of view (hearing...) this comparison does not give the full potential of the electric instrument, as room acoustics play a big role in addition to the loudspeakers used to reproduce the sound. You most certainly have used speakers designed just for home listening, not for reproducing the sound of an electronic instrument. There are great differences in speaker & amplifier technology, which should not be left out of the comparison. Even the microphone used has a different effect on the sound. BUT - YOU play beautifully!

I’m impressed by the NS but a real cello is still a real cello. I guess it will depend from the music you want to create. Bach didn’t had an eCello so…the real is the deal. But the NS is a different bread. The flexibility it does offer is unparalleled and for sure less expensive the a true performing cello. I think it all depends what you are aiming for. For this piece and the style used I still, definitely, prefer a real cello. Throughout headphones I can’t feel the vibrations that a cello creates, but since I’m a cellist, I know it well. And that is what get in your soul.

The only real difference is that the electric one is a bit deeper.

There's definitely a Huge difference between the two. As you said, preferring one over the other is purely subjective. With that said, the acoustic Wins!, hands down. The electric has a fuller tone, but that also means it can't deliver the clarity of the acoustic. Without the clarity, the nuances of any particular composition will be lost. There's a young lady who has an electric guitar rendition of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, 3rd. movement up on YT. Her name is Tina S. A virtuoso demonstration, beyond all doubt. But that performance lost all the subtitles and nuances of the original. I think the electric cello will be in the same boat, unless your technique can overcome what I'm hearing now. I'm really curious, Lady Wendy Law. You're new to the electric. Will there come a time you can make the difference go away? Or will they always be used to achieve different things?

There’s NO LIFE in the electric cello, and what I mean by that is, if you had multiple electric cellos at the same time, it would sound like a mess_ Every cello made of wood or even if it were carbon fiber for that matter, has its own particular character, that in spite of being the same, cannot occupy the same space and time as an electric can, so in a group setting you are never listening to the same cello twice, or in the same place, Every acoustic cello like human voice, are unique then in time and space, as if you had two 17yr old tenors side by side, they would sound the same but uniquely different, and that’s without bringing up the subject of character of player!! 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇 As said, “the Devil’s in the details’ as such, the difference is in the nuances of sound, character, and physics of the local, placement of instrument, and again that is still without taking in to account the player!! 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
