Can this be used on an electric violin?

If your violin uses the same type cord as an electric guitar I don't see why not. It is a superb little device.

Yes. Provided it is the same shape and length as a 4/4 acoustic violin. thanks. Castle Music

It depends on the design of the instrument. Many electric violins will only take their proprietary shoulder and chin rests.If you're talking specifically about the Yamaha Silent Violins, it will work on them. Many electrics have a frame that simulates the lower bout of a violin, and those will take any shoulder rest... same for any others that have a lower bout frame with the same dimensions as an acoustic violin.

The violin that we purchased came equipped with strings already installed. Most of them snapped upon first tuning. We are experience with violins, so this means the strings are of poor quality. Do your self a favor and order a set of better quality strings in addition to the violin. Would suggest Daddario prelude steel strings ($15?). They are USA made, and will work well on an electric violin.All the best!

I believe that it will, though I do not play a violin. I used it for guitar, banjo and mandolin.

This is a chromatic vibration sensor tuner, so it can be used on any acoustic string instrument. You just need to know what note/pitch you want to tune the string to, and you must be able to clip the tuner somewhere on to the instrument so that it can sense the vibration of the instrument.

Probably you can. However, I'd think you would be better off with either the Planet Waves "Small Instrument" humidifier or the Stretto System for Violin/Viola. Jim Gage/Dec. 5, 2014

Yes, this tuner can be used for either Acoustic or Electric guitars, as long as it is only used for a '6-string'.

This may work for a violin but my only concern is that like an acoustic guitar it has a hollow body and that particular microphone feeds back depending on where you place it, im sure you dont want that to happen.

I don't see why not. I use it on a 3 string mountain dulcimer and it is super accurate and the dial is easy to read. It has several modes and you need to find the one that works best for your instrument. I would like to use it on autoharp but I have not found a way to attach it. The mount is intended for a flat place like the guitar and my dulcimer.

There is n readon you can't. Nott many people use capos on electric, but you can do it!

No not if You expected to work correctly out of the box. My daughters instructor tried to tune it and was afraid that she was going to crack the violin if she continued to tune it. Some of the other posts advise if you replace the strings that will fix the problem but I didn't attempt to that I just went out to get another replacement one that was a little bit better

Hi, This works like a regular guitar amplifier (mono) so it should work for any electrical instrument that works fine with a standard eclectic guitar amplifier.bestAvi

I did put it on an electric guitar, yes. In some ways it works better on an electric guitar because the action is lower.

i have only used it on my electric guitars to this point however, it seems it should work just fine on all tuners. hope that helps.

as long as you can clip it to the head stock, it should work just fine. I have a soprano uke and use it all the time for that.
