Violin

It is an instrument that produces sound by scraping the strings with a bow and plays a central role in classical music and orchestras.

Electric violin

An instrument that picks up the vibrations of the strings with a pickup and produces sound through an amplifier or other device. The live sound is smaller than that of an acoustic, so it is recommended for those who do not want to produce a loud sound.

It looks almost the same as a violin, but it has a larger body and a slightly lower register than a violin.
