I listen to a lot of classical music. Yet, I have no idea what an experimental cellist plays or does.

A cello made of carbon fiber composites...???

Of course you wouldn't, and neither would I, because we listen to classical music ;-)

I played the cello in grade school.

I played a rented cello. I did lots of experiments with it.

For example, I experimented to see if it would make a good bow and arrow (it wasn't). I also experimented with it as a shield (good only for defense against cello bows propelled by cello strings).

I believe this makes me one of the world's experts in this field.

I remember learning the Cello in grade school. Every time I got "experimental" the music teacher threw a book at me.

Being an amateur musicologist, this is the best I could come up with:

Yes, I have the album. I assure you, it's definitely an acquired taste... :-)

The cello is a difficult instrument to master. I suspect an "experimental" cellist is someone who is not a cellist but nonetheless plays one on TV, especially on PBS.

I have an idea what grindcore is. Usually the most interesting thing about it is the band names.
