Will it work on an electric violin? Does it have the loop effect?

If you have a magnetic pickup on your instrument you can use this box. But it does not have a looper effect.

Yes! it works perfectly with a 12 string as well. It still detects the pitches for the 3rd thru 6th strings even though they are an octave apart.I highly recommend it.

Despite it being electric, you absolutely can hear when you play this violin without being plugged into an amp. I wouldn't say its as loud as my daughter's classical violin, but I wouldn't call it silent.

Yes, this works with electric guitars. However, it is not as effective you are playing in a club and the other instruments are at high volume.

The Snark SN-5 is supposed to work for Guitar, Bass and Violin. It works great on my acoustic guitar. I don't have a Bass, so I can't say for sure, but I bet it would work.

Not sure if a violin has an area to attach the device. It works fine with guitar, upright bass, ukulele, cello. It would all depend on whether there is a spot it could clip on to securely. Hope this helps!

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!

Not sure, but I would say probably not as well as it would with a standard. In the standard the brass is hugging, and therefore deadening all across, and therefore all the strings evenly. With a compensated it would only touch the outermost presented parts of the bridge, dampening those strings in particular in a strong way, leaving the inner most sections probably free to vibrate more, so those strings might be louder. Though they might all be somewhat muted, but I think the effect would be unevenly distributed. Since you would want the volume of all strings to be equally damped (like it would usually work) I don't think this will work for you. Even if you got all rocket scientist on it and bent it to conform to the irregularities of the bridge, you'd then have a problem of not being able to slide that puppy ion and off, which is the great feature. I think you might need to get a couple violin type mutes that slip on vertically. One of the nice things about this mute is it really give a good tone, whereas violin mutes leave something to be desired. But if its a choice between practicing,.... and unhappy spouse, waking kids or bitchy neighbors...ya gotta do what ya gotta do...

No reason it would not, as long as your violin has a 1/4" output. If you have an acoustic violin, you will need a pickup of some sort such as http://www.amazon.com/Daphon-Clip-On-Headstock-Ukulele-Mandolin/dp/B008HZQ2PM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1359240521&sr=8-3&keywords=clip-on+pickup

No, this is a passive pickup. I have the violin version and run it out through a preamp and then to a pa system. I have used this set up for 10 years and it is excellent. I play with a guy who uses this pickup in his upright bass. He runs it directly to an amp and it works great when you limit the vibrations on the pickup by bending it up a little away from the face of the bass.

https://m.reddit.com/comments/286hv7Check the above link out - video of someone who plugged in a violin and how exactly they tuned it to the game- like someone else said you'd have to figure out yourself how notes correlate to the tablature which will be a complication and also just a downside to the game as you won't be able to read music afterwards

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

It should work equally well regardless of what instrument is input. I have used it with electric guitars and acoustic guitars with a bridge pickup. Good luck!

No, it says it is a set, which means four (gdae) It says ball end e, which is instead of a loop, which would depend on your violin but ball end is probably what you need. I would suggest getting a set of D'addario Pro Arté strings instead. They are cheaper and sound much warmer with more complex overtones.

It should work fine with any instrument you can clamp it onto. I has a chromatic tuner setting that I have used for Bass, Guitar and Uke and it will tell you what pitch it receives and when it is exactly on that note.

Haven't tried with violins, but if will tell you that it is the most accurate sound for acoustic guitars I have ever heard, and I bought mine with much skepticism.

If someone thought this product did not work, they were obviously using it wrong. It cuts the decibel level of the violin well below 3/4 of normal playing volume, if not more. I have no measuring equipment other than my own ears, and I use the device often.
