An acoustic violin is the classical instrument that you see in orchestras, and is perfect for traditional ceremonies, light background music, and intimate events.  Electric violin is similar to an electric guitar in that it requires amplification, and the sound can be modified with different sound effects. Excellent for showstopper events with an impressive visual effect, electric violin will create a memorable experience for you and your guests, and is ideal for receptions, parties, nightlife, and corporate events. I currently perform with a purple Zeta Strados electric violin.
