Electric Violin Strings
Each violinist knows that strings are a very important and delicate part of an instrument. Strings determine the overall sound to a large extent. They also affect playing comfort.
Though in general electric violinists use strings that are made for all kinds of violins, there are some restrictions: some common strings for acoustic violins are unsuitable for electric violins. In addition, electric violins often have additional, typically lower, strings. They expand the tonal range beyond the range that a conventional violin offers. But these strings are usually not available from your local music shop.
It is well worth spending time to find the right strings, and we will try to offer some guidelines on these pages.
