An electric violin is a traditional violins built with an electric pick-up that amplifies sound and tone.
It is made up of four to seven strings and a sleeker, more colorful body that can be made of wood or acrylic. It produces a unique and loud sound. It is played by resting it on the chin and bowing or plucking the strings with violin bow.
An electric violin is used by both beginner and professional violinists for various performances requiring effects such as chorus, reverb, delay, and distortion. It is popularly used in progressive, jazz, and experimental music.
Violin transducer: To provide more natural violin sounds and prevent feedback noise, choose an electric violin with a transducer bridge. Pick-ups: For generic use, choose an electric violin with two to four piezoelectric pick-ups built beneath each string that effectively spot body, string, and bridge vibrations. Be sure to plug your pick-ups in an amplifier at its high impedance input stage to prevent loss of low frequencies.
Use: If you are a traditional violin player looking for a change, look for an electric violin that you can use for playing more music genres including pop, rock, country, and jazz. Try experimenting with the instrument you want to determine the different sound effects it can produce.
