PanicKernel2008 it’s a cello. Five stringed cellos are common; they date back literally centuries. Also, it has tuning pegs, in a style that was first documented in 1618. That style is more common on double basses, but certainly not unheard of on traditional cellos. As for the fact it’s electrified, again, it’s still a cello; the tuning and playing technique are identical. In 1978, Eddie Van Halen was in the studio with producer Ted Templeman shredding on a nylon string acoustic guitar. Templeman asked him, “so you play acoustic guitar too?“ To which Van Halen aptly replied, “whazafuck’s the difference?“
@@PanicKernel2008 You don't seem to know much about celli to judge what can be called a cello or not. Or would you say the same about an electric guitar not being a guitar because it has no body and is electrically amplified? Obviously makes no sense.
