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 cheapest electric violin at southwest strings is $350
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 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?
