The electric violin is a contemporary adaptation of the traditional violin, designed primarily for amplified sound and versatility in various musical genres. Unlike the acoustic violin, it features electronic pickups that capture the vibrations of its strings, allowing for amplification and modification through effects pedals and sound systems. The body of an electric violin can be solid or semi-hollow, often featuring innovative designs and materials that enhance its aesthetic appeal and durability. Used in genres such as rock, jazz, and fusion, the electric violin offers musicians the ability to explore a broad range of tones, dynamics, and performance styles, bridging classical and modern music.
