Lots of people like The Realist which may be what she has, but personally I feel like the Shadow SH-956 produces a better tone when played through a system. Hope that helps!
Keep in mind you'll likely need a pick-up if you're playing with amped instruments. The Realist will work well for your needs: http://www.amazon.com/Realist-Pickup-for-Acoustic-Cello/dp/B000LQ3COE
Good advice in this thread-- I would advise either a pickup that goes under a foot of the bridge, or a mic that clips to the cello itself. Here's an example:

If you want a more electric sound put your signal through a computer or pedals on it's way to the amp.
