Its called a pick-up.
Not necessarily, although a strong foundation on the traditional instrument will give you a head start on the electric one.
The first electric violin was 'born' in the 1920's
They're called f cuts. And electric violins don't have them because the purpose of f cuts is to let the vibrations in the violin out. Producing sound. Electric violins don't work the same way normal violins do.
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!
the cheapest electric violin at southwest strings is $350
the c-violin
The key differences between an electric bass guitar and an electric bass violin are their shapes and playing techniques. The electric bass guitar has a guitar-like shape and is played by plucking the strings with fingers or a pick. On the other hand, the electric bass violin has a violin-like shape and is played with a bow like a traditional violin.
Electric violins can play the same sheet music as an acoustic violin.
well there are 4 sizes 1, 2, 3, and 4. there are normal violins that are not amplified and of course the ELECTRIC VIOLIN!!
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.
when was the electric violin invented? who invented the electric violin?
