Yes there is. It looks similar to an 'ordinary' violin - except that it includes an electronic pick-up (like you find on electric Guitars). The pick-up includes a socket to attach a lead - which is fed to an amplifier.
when was the electric violin invented? who invented the electric violin?
One could put an electric pickup on a violin. I don't think "plug in violin" would be the best name for it, though.
yes. Vanessa Mae (famous violinist) plays one.
The first electric violin was 'born' in the 1920's
You would be able to play the electric violin just fine with Acoustic Violin skills. The only thing is that the electric violin might take some getting used to as it has a different fell from the acoustic.First you would have to actually buy a violin to see what it sounds like.Then you would also have to buy an electric one.Then you compare and contrast.Theres your answer!~Hope this was helpful!~Mitrian Mage :)No. Electric are heavier and you don't have to worry about producing sound (due to it being amplified). And some electric ones have frets.
the cheapest electric violin at southwest strings is $350
the c-violin
Electric violins can play the same sheet music as an acoustic violin.
The smartest thing to do is start on the violin cello (normal cello) because it is less expensive and then you can get an electric cello!
Yes.
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.
Yes, unless it's an electric acoustic violin.
