i currently play a "regular" fiddle, and i think it would be fun to play an electrtic one, have any of you played one and what are they like.

summer

I have an electric violin. It looks like a normal one, but it has the amp hook-up. I love it. I can play it acoustically, or plug it in if I wanted! I really like it. Sometime when I save enough money, I would love to get a five-string electric

I have a cheapie plastic one, and I like the sound but it is a pain to play.
It`s a lot heavier the my reg, and it`s not as thick, so I have to clamp my chin down much harder, until it just kills my neck. And it`s wierdly shaped, so my shoulder rest wont even fit it.
If you`re gonna get one, you should save you money and get a good one!

If and when someone gets an elec. violin...PLEASE TELL ME!!! I would luv for u 2 send me a recording of what it sounds like- my e-mail is nearles@stpats.vic.edu.au
