I'm pretty sure it could be very useful. I base this on the fact then when I
got my first synthesizer in 1979 I had to play it through my families hammond
organ with Leslie speaker. I was able to get better cello and violin sounds
through the Leslie than when moving to speakers that didn't color the sound
so much. So using a real Cello body might work well.

Actually they can be bought new for between $250 and $350. I'm sure the sky
is the limit on the high end.
