Resonance does not affect a violin. Resonance is the violins ability to vibrate with the tone that is played. With a high resonance, a violins sound will be heard long after the note is played. With a low level of resonance, a violin will sound dull and immature. Resonance affects the tone quality of a violin, but the violin has a direct relationship to its resonance.

How does the electric violin 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.

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.
