Man I was really hoping to buy an electric violin because I can’t play in my apartment. But those prices are way beyond me 😭 Thanks for the advice!

Have you tried a heavy steel or rubber mute? They work pretty well a little too well I think..

Have you bought anything to learn to play? Or rented one for " your 10 yr old child " who is in the orchestra in case they dont rent to adults there? Buying one thing at a time as your budget allows is better than waiting and waiting but never getting any closer to your goals

Thank you! You are bridging the classical world and this whole new world for me. I had really only heard Charlie Daniel’s electric style. We all know that is amazing but, I feel like I’ve been living under a rock.

I love love love my NS design. But from my experience I think it's a bad first violin. It's highly customizable to fit so many ergonomic needs. Thats usually a good thing but when you're starting out and have no frame of reference, that can make it hard to dial in. Once I got an acoustic I knew how it was supposed to feel and I no longer have comfort issues with the NS.

That's probably fair. I doubt that Ned Steinberger was anticipating that someone would try to learn violin on an electric. I bet he was assuming that his customers would be coming from an acoustic instrument.

I had played on traditional acoustic for 10 years before getting my NS Wav. I nearly returned it due to severe neck pain that I never experienced on my acoustic. It took patience and fiddling with the shoulder rest height to achieve a comfortable playing position. I love it and now have played on my NS Wav exclusively for 5 years. Christmas 2021 I got a Boss Pocket GT, and really love the set up with my Wav

Maybe someone knows if there is any business that sells violin parts to build your own such as Warmoth does for electric guitars? Im talking about buying the necks and bodies too, not just the other little parts such as tailpiece (for acoustic ones). Even if the vendor is in Europe.

Does an acoustic-electric violin have a sound post? I want to begin on the electric because I ordered a regular acoustic and it arrived with the sound post already fallen so I couldn’t play it until I got the tools to reset it, and I’m not interested in learning to play if I have to keep messing with the sound post.
@ElectricViolinShop4 ай бұрын
An acoustic-electric violin is an acoustic violin. So, yes. It has a soundpost.

How can you change the chin rest on a Yamaha SV250? It always looks like it's fixed due to the instrument jack for the control box right beneath.

Man that's crazy expensive. How come I can get an incredible electric guitar for 600€ but only an entry level electric violin? There's more material and tech in the guitar!
@ElectricViolinShop Жыл бұрын
Great question. I think the answer lies in two different definitions of the word "scale". First, there are about 1000 guitar players for every violinist, so they've scaled up production for guitars, driving down cost. Second, a violin is a lot smaller. So precision has to go up a lot. If a dimension on a beginner guitar is off by a couple millimeters, it's no big deal. If a dimension on a violin is off by a couple millimeters, you can't even play it.
