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.
No absolutely not the bridge is what transfers the vibrations of the strings into the hollow inside of the violin resonating the sound, if you were to play it without the bridge it would sound similar to an electric guitar without an amp.
Yes, acoustic electric guitars can produce sound without amplifiers, but amplifiers are needed to make the sound louder and to adjust the tone and effects.
You can attach a microphone to it and amplify the sound.
no.....it sounds more electric. That's like asking if an electrical guitar sounds like an acoustic. absolutly not! The regular violin can have more of a mellow, natural sound. With the electric violin you can get more of a modern sound. The electric violin is usually used in fiddle/bluegrass music. The regular violin is used in classical performances and orchestras. I personally do not play a electric violin because they sound so different. But you can get them in different disigns, colors, and sometimes you can change the sounds on them.
Yes, there are electric violins. My friend has an electric violin and it sounds amazing. Many orchestras use them to get a more modern sound.
Yes, an acoustic electric guitar can be played without an amp. The guitar will produce sound acoustically, but the electric components will not be activated without an amp.
No. You can buy electric violins with a jack in the back where you can plug in headphones so only you can hear its amplified sound. Some come w/ headphones, but if not you can just use your iPod headphones instead. Two good brands of those are the Yamaha and the Stagg silent electric violins. These you can also plug into an amp if you want.
The acoustic guitar is usually classified as a "string" instrument.
A 'cello produces a lower pitch than a violin.
A violin makes sound and produces music by the vibration of its strings when they are played with a bow or plucked. The vibrations are amplified by the body of the violin, creating sound waves that we hear as music.
The violin produces sound when the bow is drawn across the strings, causing them to vibrate. These vibrations create sound waves that travel through the air and are amplified by the hollow body of the violin, producing its unique sound.
A silent electric violin produces the same sound as an electric guitar. It isn't as loud as an acoustic violin, but isn't silent.
