Finally, after suffering the fate of most innovations, electric violins have begun to find acceptance in the world of music. The prices have only changed a bit, but the number of models and styles has increased dramatically.
Once considered a toy, just like personal computers, now the electrified stringed instrument is used more often. It travels well, amplifies for outdoor venues and the sound can be tweaked with just like the electric guitar.
Because these instruments are made of materials other than wood, the shape and style, even the color is easily changed. There are models made of clear Lucite and others made of nearly indestructible composites. They an look just like the usual violin or flow in shapes never dreamed of by Stradivarius.
Not only the shape has changed. The electrified stringed instrument has become an equal in the quartet and small groups that play at music festivals. To be heard above the banjo and saxophone is now possible. This is excitement indeed. Mixing the sound of an ensemble is now far easier.
Parents of new string players everywhere will appreciate one particular feature of electric strings. They can be silent. Plug the output into the headphones and junior hears his every note and you hear nothing at all. True bliss.
The durability and mass production of the future may make better quality instruments available for amateur enthusiasts. And while not everyone is willing to jettison the acoustic for the electric, it is much more readily accepted now.
When you balance cost and flexibility of purpose against cost and lack of snob appeal the scales are beginning to move toward the center. The future looks quite bright.
