The advantage of an electric violin compared to the acoustic one is that it has no resonance box, but has built-in microphones like an electric guitar. This makes the signal suitable for sound processing without experiencing feedback problems. With the electric violin even very faint signals may be amplified: e.g., resonances from the tuning pegs, fingerboard or other body parts, to be used for sound effects. I have since 1999 played on a Skyinbow-violin but I am planning to buy a second instrument with more technical abilities. I will soon try out a zeta-violin with midi-controller and if possible a Jensen violin.
