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.
