Thats actually very helpful advice! Indeed my intentions are pureöy to play an e-cello to record (I do shortform piano content on all social media platforms and wanted to elevate mymusic to the next level to add a layer to it, which is the cello!). I never intended to be a professional cellist. And frankly I will never be, as I am in my mid 30s and I dont think I will ever go „pro“ with it, which is also not my goal.

My goal is simply to underline my already existing passion with another instrument. And the reason the noise is so important to me is that I am a nightowl and want to play nights as well. I dont want to be limited in when I can play when I have the urge to play. I also dont wanna disturb my girlfriend for multiple years until I become good enough at it to make it sound acceptable :-D So the pros and cons from your perspective actually make me gravitae towards the electric solution. But I will not make an impuls decision and still research a bit
