Thread Name: Electric violin advice
Subject: RE: Electric violin advice
The Electric Fiddle is set up exactly like the Acoustic is for plugging in. That is to say that the pick up is in the bridge so the sound is not really much different from any other violin that is plugged in.
They are much heavier however and any fiddle less than $1000 Canadian will give you bow sounds when amped. A deep rubbing sound each time the bow changes direction.
I gave my wife a Fujiyama for Christmas and she has yet to spend some time with it but we did try it out on my P.A. and were both surprised by the quality/richness of the sound.
