- In this video, we compare the two instruments and talk about the fact that neither is inherently better. They're two different instruments with two different applications. We'll get into the differences between the two and when you might choose one over the other.
Matt, you are the MASTER, that was excellent! Well done!
Keep 'em coming.
I purchased my NS Wav from you in 2017 and still very happy. I've just discovered the Fender Mustang micro and Boss GT. Testing both right now, but leaning towards the Boss. It's a great way to add headphone portability and try varieties of pedal effects. Please do some looper tutorials.
Our friend Christian Howes has a great video on loopers: ruclips.net/video/imgCWbfRx-Y/видео.html
@@ElectricViolinShop Christian is a great teacher
I can play electric without annoying the rest of my family, so that’s definitely a plus.
I learned to shift positions while living in an apartment. I would have been much more self conscious playing acoustic, but with my NS Wav, I was free to shift over and over and over....
Thank you sir from India good 😊 explain well
Nothing ever beats the pure sound of the acoustic violin.
Yess.. it's soul full
I was in a place for a few years where I had almost no privacy and small windows of time when I could practice. (I had been playing for about 40 years at the time, so…not a beginner…just sayin’.). I bought a Yamaha Silent electric violin…I think the 200 series. It is a good instrument and certainly was quiet enough, though not exactly “silent”. After a month or so…maybe longer maybe shorter, I don’t really remember, I was really craving (wanted to write “Jones-ing” but hey…) for that acoustic sound. There just seem to be overtones coming off the wooden top that are not present in the sound coming from a piezo pickup. The Yamaha system is excellent and I had decent enough headphones/earbuds, but it wasn’t the same. I have played for years in working, full-time bands with an electric fiddle, and for that application, the electric is great. But practicing in privacy, the sound wasn’t enough for me. (Also of note…maybe…I wrote an article for Frets magazine…April ‘78 maybe, about violin pickups…a lot has changed since then!). Cheers, and thanks EVS! You guys are the best!
What are the best tools for the Msi Renaissance electric violin for home and small stages?
An MSI would sound good if you ran it through a cardboard box. Just get a good impedance match and you're well on your way to success.
Y.E.V 4th position is quieter than 1st position….hmmm
It is pretty difficult for a beginner/intermediate player to find a teacher for the electric violin. And I live in a major US metropolitan area! A teacher could help one-on-one to adjust acoustic technique to electric or help with learning amp/pedal/eq/looping use. EVShop's classical-to-radical series is good but not the same as a teacher who would personalize teaching. So it almost seems one has to be a high level musician to switch to electric: someone whose musical basics are so strong that they can take small hints from experts and work the rest of the technique on their own :-D
Try to find someone online! I couldn't find anyone local but was able to get online lessons with my electric! I actually just now got an acoustic after playing on the electric for about a year and let me tell ya, alot of the differences are -WAY- overstated. I had people time and time again tell me you can't develop good technique on an electric but it took my bow arm a few hours at most to adjust to the sensitivity differences...
I suggest learning the real violin first, it makes the transition easier versus the other way around. And the real thing is the real deal and then you can say you're an actual violinist. But good luck to you regardless!
@@AlexRiversMusic Hi Alex, I have learned to play the acoustic violin for several years now. I am at the sort of beginner-intermediate level who is bothered by bow noise that cannot be heard on the acoustic violin but is amplified and heard on the electric violin etc (there is an EVShop video answering this question). The sorts of things that I would like handholding would be for 5-string practice (e.g., what would be the best basic fingering for 4 octave scales? What would be a good etude to develop dexterity and intonation musically on all 5 strings -- e.g., I found that Kayser's #18 as transcribed for the viola works, but a teacher would help me find or modify other etudes).
And then, none of the years I learned what to do with all of the controls on my multifunction pedal board or amplifier! :-D
Why not an Electric Violin w/ a built in Amplifier.
Like the Volta?
@@ElectricViolinShop Oh yeah kinda like those Vox Travel Guitars too, & now it's a beginner friendly Electric Violin too cause you just turn on the built in amp.
And then there are the ones which are both acoustic and electric; get the best of both worlds in one instrument.
