electric violin
Plugged-in strings
An electric violin is a violin designed to be amplified electronically rather than acoustically.
Unlike traditional violins, which project sound through a hollow wooden body, electric violins typically have solid bodies and rely on pickups to convert string vibrations into electrical signals.
They're used in rock, jazz, and experimental music where amplification and effects processing are desired: She ran her electric violin through a distortion pedal.
