This is exactly why I just ordered one. Literally have wanted to learn the violin since I was a kid but I also understand that it can be a VERY loud instrument, which isn't as fun when you're brand spanking new. There's also the added bonus of being headphone compatible. My only musical experience so far has been piano and a little ocarina playing and I'm SO ecstatic for when this new instrument finally arrives in my life!
Also important to be aware that 1. Different violins/strings etc will have different volume. All pretty quiet but different volume. And a bit louder in person. And 2. It sounds a LOT louder for you playing it because you're really close to the strings. It's a lot quieter even just standing a meter away without your chin pressed up against it. My YEV is still loud enough unplugged to sometimes make me worry I'm gonna wake up neighbours and play some notes with it held away from me just to remind myself it's really not that loud for everyone else. And it's still loud enough that you CAN perform a little something for someone and they can hear what's happening and it can sound good, it's just a lot more quiet. But if you just want to quickly show something it works fine, you don't ALWAYS need to set up the amp.
@@ElectricViolinShop well yeah no not at all. But I actually really like how loud it sounds for myself when I'm practicing and that I can actually still play and record myself and listen back to it without having to plug it in. Without annoying the neighbours.
@@ElectricViolinShop well I am a teacher for orchestra but I am also a beginner violinist. I am a music educator, so I know how to practice. I was really looking for violin specific tips. Things I could pass on to my students. Do you have any specific violin tips?
Im not sure if im qualified to say this but you should just keep it in mind. The basics are very important for a strings instrument, without a solid basics, you may as well be playing a strings instrument on 2x the difficulty. Proper posture is a must and proper use of bow length, be nitpicky about those parts along side with intonation. One more important thing is it would be better to exaggerate your dynamics, so you’ll have a big range, it really makes a world of a difference that’ll make an orchestra sound like a professional once you’ve gotten the notes and everything else down. But that could be taught a bit later down the line once you’re more comfortable with the strings instruments.
Why? if it's during daytime no one got the right to tell you to stop (plus you kinda do need the full sound to learn projection and tone) if it's night time you can get a practice mute, makes acoustic go silent
Hey Matt, do you have any recommendations on how to set up the helix line 6 floor to sound the best with my NS CR4 cello. I’m looking for a natural cello. Thank you in advance for any suggestions?
I mean, not to hate electric violins (I have one myself) but if it's only about practising without bothering anyone (which has its own shortcoming) you could just slap a heavy practice mute on the bridge of your acoustic, 25€ max, and can learn tone and projection with it off
First, let me address the myth that you don't need to produce tone or project with an electric violin. You absolutely do and the videos that a lot of people post of themselves playing electric violin are proof. Most people playing electric violin sound bad. (And it's not the instrument.) And why wouldn't I just practice with a heavy mute on? Because it sounds horrible. If you practice with an electric, you can wear headphones, add some EQ and reverb, and sound like you're playing in a concert hall.
I'd like to get into violin but I'm not sure if I want to start on electric or acoustic. I'm leaning toward acoustic because I figure it would be a more traditional sound. But I do live in an apartment and would like something that wouldn't leave my walls. I'd appreciate any input, can I get a really quiet acoustic? Does electric sound just like acoustic? Is one lighter or easier to play than the other?
Your best bet is to get a teacher. Violin isn't one of those things that people have a lot of success trying to learn on their own. And if you play it wrong, you could end up with a repetitive strain injury that you're going to regret for a long time.
What type of set up would you use for a 7 string Viper? I mean all the way down to the pedal dude. I’m about to fiddle up to a whole new world and would appreciate your advice dude you rock Thanks Susan Judd
Does electric violin has the same string as the normal violin im still thinking of buying electric and does electric violin strin easy to broke pls help me
Bluetooth doesn't work for live music. Too much latency. But you can get set of wireless headphones that use RF instead of bluetooth. The Boss Waza Air headphones are pretty sweet.
You can do whatever you want to do. But I'll say that you'll learn a lot faster (and safer) if you have a teacher. And you are pretty unlikely to find a teacher who's willing to teach you from scratch on an electric.
It's not impossible but it has its shortcomings, you can't really learn projection or tone generation with an electric, same goes for practising on an acoustic with a mute on, it's not recommended to use a mute as long as you can avoid it, sure if it's like 22:00 you kinda have to if you have neighbours, but during the day just don't, it doesn't provide the feedback you need and walls do a better job than you'd think at blocking noise Back to learning on electric though, it's fine if electric is all you wanna learn and don't plan to ever switching, but you're gonna have to re-learn bowing when you transition to acoustic if you do, acoustic you can transition anytime, only hard time you might get is if you change to an electric with idk 7 strings and such
![[Insane random playing violin battle] World class violinist vs 10 year old prodigy](/img/n.gif)
That's a thing I really like of electric violins, you won't annoy anyone if you don't plug it 🙃
Agreed.
You know that most if not all electric violins have headphone jacks right?
@@aizen2474 I thought it was just a few of them 😅
You can just buy a mute its a lot more effective for an original violin
@@sfaballman6467specifically the metal mute. With that the acoustic sound unplugged

Hi other ocarina player :D
You should also add that you can use direct monitoring on headphones with electric violin. Cannot do the same on an acoustic
Also important to be aware that 1. Different violins/strings etc will have different volume. All pretty quiet but different volume. And a bit louder in person. And 2. It sounds a LOT louder for you playing it because you're really close to the strings. It's a lot quieter even just standing a meter away without your chin pressed up against it.

In your house, yeah. Backstage during soundcheck? Not so much.
@@ElectricViolinShop well yeah no not at all. But I actually really like how loud it sounds for myself when I'm practicing and that I can actually still play and record myself and listen back to it without having to plug it in. Without annoying the neighbours.
You're such an amazing teacher!❤ got interested in an electric violin because of your vids. Very fun to watch ❤
Sounds better unplugged than my acoustic with a heavy practice mute
big perk for violinists living in apartments with thin walls and angry neighbors 😂
Second part of the answer.
And that is valid for solid body EVs. If it is acoustic -electric, it sounds loud even unplugged 😊
That's an awesome electric violin
thats why I bought it, for my neighborhood - in the other hand since than I practice at 10 pm :D
What is (are) your tip(s) for beginner players? I'm a beginner violinist. 🎻
Play a lot. Record yourself. Be patient. Listen to your teacher.
@@ElectricViolinShop how about intermediate?
@@LindseyLayne Same advice.

owen hart is aliiiiiiiiveeeeee
I should've went electric a decade ago
I would've practiced more for so many auditions
(Including the one I just backed out of)
Why? if it's during daytime no one got the right to tell you to stop (plus you kinda do need the full sound to learn projection and tone) if it's night time you can get a practice mute, makes acoustic go silent
I dont like electric violins for performing however what you mentioned on the end is really useful…
Hey Matt, do you have any recommendations on how to set up the helix line 6 floor to sound the best with my NS CR4 cello.
I’m looking for a natural cello.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions?
This might help!

Which is this beautiful violin 😮
I am looking for to buy one. I told my niece. She just said "cool" with a boring face. I will get one.
You get a like from me just by wearing a Pepsi t-shirt...cool video, quite informative :)
No stealth violin!

I have mute for my cello. It sounds almost like that. 😅 Actually it’s for my neighbors but I really prefer to go bold. 🎻🎻🎻

I'm kinda the same way with my electric guitar haha.
Justamente para eso quiero uno electrico, para practicar sin destruir timpanos!!
Claro que si
What's the best type of electric violin I have a regular one and wanna try a electric
What type of set up would you use for a 7 string Viper? I mean all the way down to the pedal dude. I’m about to fiddle up to a whole new world and would appreciate your advice dude you rock Thanks Susan Judd
I mean, if you've got the scratch, it's hard to beat the Helix by Line 6.
Hii sir How much rate this violin
All pricing is on our website: electricviolinshop.com
Does it play good when it's unplugged? Well,kind of,sounds ok,but if it's plugged,it's metal time!
hybrid guitar for the victory, you can play both with and without a plug, I don't know if it exists for violins?
Acoustic-electric. Yup.
Could you plug in something like a vox amplug and play with headphones
Yes.
Also, many electric violins have a port where you can plug headphones directly into the violin!
I'm looking to buy a violin what's the best one for beginner if anyone has any choices
We're dropping a video literally as I type this.
Do left hand violins exist, similar to lefty guitars and basses?
They do exist, but are much rarer than left-hand guitars and basses. Most left-handed violinists just learn to play right-handed.

Que presio cuesta
Does electric violin has the same string as the normal violin im still thinking of buying electric and does electric violin strin easy to broke pls help me
Same strings. Yup.
@@ElectricViolinShop ohh ok does electric violin strings stronger than acoustic?
do you need to charge it ???
It has batteries.
Does it Feature Bluetooth headsets?
Bluetooth doesn't work for live music. Too much latency. But you can get set of wireless headphones that use RF instead of bluetooth. The Boss Waza Air headphones are pretty sweet.
do you know any electrics with really good bowed tone? they always sound kinda empty and scratchy to me
Yeah - all of the ones we carry if you plug them into a decent amp and put them in the hands of a decent player.
Which violin is this?
Would like to know as well. Which violin is this?
can you play it like a normal eletric guitar?
You can do whatever you want.
Is it okay to learn violin on an electric violin ?
You can do whatever you want to do. But I'll say that you'll learn a lot faster (and safer) if you have a teacher. And you are pretty unlikely to find a teacher who's willing to teach you from scratch on an electric.

Yet another reason why acoustic instruments are just better
For what?
How much please
