Electric violins give players the freedom to explore new sounds, perform with amplification and practise more quietly when used with headphones. They are popular with musicians playing contemporary, rock, jazz and amplified music, as well as classical players looking for greater flexibility.
At Tempest Music, we offer a carefully selected range of electric violins in Perth for students, advancing musicians and experienced performers.
Unlike an acoustic violin, an electric violin uses a pickup system to send the instrument’s sound to an amplifier, headphones, recording equipment or effects. Differences in pickup design, construction, weight and ergonomics can have a significant effect on both the amplified sound and the playing experience.
For this reason, it’s important to consider more than appearance when choosing an electric violin. Comfort, balance, response and sound quality all matter, particularly for players performing for extended periods.
Electric violins can also open up a completely different creative world. Players can experiment with amplification and effects while retaining the familiar technique and expression of the violin.
Our experienced team can explain the differences between models and help you choose an electric violin to suit your playing, performance needs and budget.
