	Electric Violin Stringed Instruments
		Acoustic violins may be used with an add-on piezoelectric bridge or body pickup, but often suffer from feedback on stage, in addition to the raw piezo sound.
		The timbre or tone color of an acoustic violin is created directly because of these resonances, however, so depending on how the signal is picked up, an electric piezo violin may have a much more "raw", "sharp" sound than an acoustic.
		Electric violin signals usually pass through electronic processing, in the same way as an electric guitar, to achieve a desired sound.

		Finally, my solid-body electric violin sounded painfully coarse in the same room as these fine old acoustic instruments, in spite of my best efforts to tweak the equalization (I have spent untold hours messing with EQ and electric violins).
		With the sound of my electric violin coming out all directions, it was filling the hall more like acoustic instruments do—I was actually engaging the acoustic qualities of the performance space, and getting the natural reverb that acoustic musicians are accustomed to (and boy was it fun to bring it into the bathroom!).

		the pro's of the electric are its availability for such a broad range of sounds(via use of processors, effects pedals, etc), not to mention excellent control from the sound technician when used in a band setting - whereas an acoustic either micked or used w/ a pickup, you fight the issue of feedback.
		The electric violin is a unique instrument with a different purpose from the traditional acoustic violin (of which I also own seven).

	EE107b - Electric violin project
		We built a "bare-bones" electric violin and used it to study the effects of different bridge materials, bridge styles, and pick-up styles on sound.
		The main problem encountered in the violin's construction was that, due to the shallow peg box design, the strings would not lie flat against the nut.
		Although a number of different pick-ups were used throughout the project, the basic design was the same: a piezo-electic disk (removed from a buzzer) was soldered to a length of shielded audio cable, and the other end was connected to a plug (either RCA or mini audio plug).
