Electric Violins Are Ready For Prime Time
Finally, after suffering the fate of most innovations, electric violins have begun to find acceptance in the world of music. The prices have only changed a bit, but the number of models and styles has increased dramatically.
The reason for the increase in models is the increase in usefulness. And if any violinist wants to be heard outdoors and with any accompaniment at all, the electronic instrument is the way to go. Just like the electric guitar became solid body, the same is true for the other stringed instruments.
The shapes of these violins might be similar to the wooden variety or something much more surreal. Because they can be formed from Lucite and high tech composites, they are more akin to modern sculpture than musical instruments.
Not only the shape has changed. The electrified stringed instrument has become an equal in the quartet and small groups that play at music festivals. To be heard above the banjo and saxophone is now possible. This is excitement indeed. Mixing the sound of an ensemble is now far easier.
There is one place that the E-violin really takes the stage. Despite the fairly stiff price, it may be worth the money if you have a budding virtuoso in the house. The output can be routed to headphones only leaving the rest of the household in blessed silence.
The durability and mass production of the future may make better quality instruments available for amateur enthusiasts. And while not everyone is willing to jettison the acoustic for the electric, it is much more readily accepted now.
When you balance cost and flexibility of purpose against cost and lack of snob appeal the scales are beginning to move toward the center. The future looks quite bright.
