how about using this with an electric violin?

I can't imagine why it wouldn't work. I'd be interested in hearing the timbre that you'd get out of that.

Same as crazycarl's answer - I use mine for cleaning my guitar of dust and sweat. You might find this page useful: http://www.allthingsstringscommunity.com/forum/topics/cleaning-a-violin

You can play it without plugging it in for practice, but you will not get the same sound as an acoustic. It is a good violin, though...especially for the money.

Not sure but probably. I use mine some for violin but mostly I use a guitar tuner.

The sound is pretty typical of electronic violins. It is fine for practice. If used for performance, external amplification and tonal controls will be required and the quality of the sound will be dependent more on the quality of those devices than on this instrument. If he has a decent standard violin, he will be dissapointed in the dynamic range of this or any other electronic instrument.

Just use it as a mono rig. Plug guitar into what effects you want and the JamMan the last in the chain.

Yes. You can play any electric instrument that uses a standard 1/4" phono plug or an equivalent adapter.

Yes it works well on a guitar, mandolin, and banjo so i think it would work fine on a violin.

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

I have used this with an electric violin, and it's awesome!!! It delivers clear, clean sound and has that "concert hall" sound.

I have the violin pickup by Gage and have used it for years with no problem. My bass player uses one like yours and so far so good. I would return it and have them give you another, as the tone quality is excellent.

Extra wires can be found on line, but I think they are too expensive. I suggest a guitar string. I think it is the E string but not sure. Piano wire would probably work also.

I haven't heard of anyone that has, but I don't see a reason why not. You should check with others that play electric cello and see what they recommend.

Yes. It is suitable for acoustic and electric guitars, ukulele, and violin.

You certainly can. The plastic body extends along the edge of what would have been the lower bout of the violin allowing any shoulder rest to be used that would work on a normal violin. I personally like Kun, but the style of rest will depend a lot on how high off the shoulder you want it and several brands make a similar style.

It will work on any string instrument cause it picks up vibrations in the headstock however on an electric I would prolly want a tuner that plugs into it for accuracy.

Not sure. I would try it before buying in a regular store then you would know. Or through Amazon and if not right, then send it back. Try going to manufacturer of the item and see what they recommend. I only play a 4/4 violin full size when I get around to it
