Both violins are good, but it depends on what you like more. Acoustic violins are good if... *you want to play Classical Music *you don't want to worry with the technical things *you want to just have a common, old fashioned violin Electric violins are good if... *you want to make your own kind of rock/modern genre of music *you are willing to get the deal with the technical things (and buy them) *you want to have a modern, unique violin There are pros and cons with both, but if you want to be simple, get the acoustic. If you want to be futuristic, get the electric. You may even get both! (if you have the money ;) )

An acoustic violin is a traditional/classical violin. When an instrument is acoustic, it doesn't rely on electricity or any other outside sources besides a player to operate. The other example would be an electric violin. This instance is the same as the two broad types of Guitars - acoustic and electric.

M S Viswanath, When did you switch to electric violin, and what has it done for your sound?

Initially I was learning in my acoustic violin only. I was using the acoustic violin for my initial concerts as well. Later when I formed my band Rithuragas, we included drums, guitar, keyboard and it became difficult to catch the sound of acoustic violin into the microphone - you know, it is hard with distortion and all. I got my first electric violin more than eight years ago. It was not a branded violin or anything. Then I slowly learnt more and more about electric violins. I started experimenting with other brands and finally ended up with one of my favorites - Cantini. Now I also own the seven string Mark Wood Viper. I understand that only a handful of Violinists in the world own and play the Mark Wood brand. Very excited and proud to own the Viper, play the Viper.
