A silent electric violin produces the same sound as an electric guitar. It isn't as loud as an acoustic violin, but isn't silent.

If you can play the violin can you play the electric violin?

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.


Does the electric violin need an amplifier to work?

No. You can buy electric violins with a jack in the back where you can plug in headphones so only you can hear its amplified sound. Some come w/ headphones, but if not you can just use your iPod headphones instead. Two good brands of those are the Yamaha and the Stagg silent electric violins. These you can also plug into an amp if you want.


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. With the electric violin you can get more of a modern sound. The electric violin is usually used in fiddle/bluegrass music. The regular violin is used in classical performances and orchestras. 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.

Can electric violin produce sound without an amp?

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.
