Thread Name: Electric violins
Subject: Electric violins
I am looking into electric violins at the moment in order to be able to practise fiddle playing without annoying my neighbours. I have an acoustic violin but don't often play at full volume at home. I live in flatland and I hate my mistakes being heard!! It'd be great to plug the headphones in and practise. Can anyone advise me what to look for in buying an electric violin, and what price should I expect to pay for a low to middle range instrument? I know little about them but I've heard the Stagg brand is popular, but Yamaha also do them and I usually prefer Yamaha products.
