Best Answer

It depends on your electric violin.

A hollow-body violin with an acoustic pickup (basically, a traditional violin with a microphone built into it) will make sound just like a standard acoustic violin.

A solid-body electric violin will make sound without an amp...but unless you're the violin player, you won't hear it.
