Has anyone had any experience with or known anyone who has an electric cello or have heard one played.

yes, I've played one. It was a very interesting experience, and it took some getting used to

In what way, just the feel of it compared to the standard type? I am interested in the tonal qualities compared to an acoustic also. What kind was it.

It was about a year ago, so I honestly don't remember what kind it was... I'm partial to the warmer sound of my acoustic, and thought the electric sounded a bit nasal.

Thanks anyway fortunecookie, I am searching right now because my acoustic sounds nasal and I would like a more mellow sound.
I get better sound in the low notes and the higher I go the more nasal it sounds kind of like someone holding their nose and singing. I have tried moving the sound post but the difference I have gotten doesn't really satisfy me.

Thanks for your reple, captain, yes, the effects are nice and I could have fun with that but if the sound doesn't come up to an acoustic, then I wouldn't be any happier. I love that mello full sound I have heard from professionaly played acoustics and really am almost ashamed to let anyone hear me play. I have played at church and have been recorded and the recording sounds so empty and painful in the high range.
My bridge is warped slightly and I am going t try a new bridge next.

You are right. I do need a new cello. Wish I could afford a decent one. What did you end up getting?
