A Bespoke Electric Violin Build From Start To Finish

After 8 months of learning to play the acoustic violin, I had decided to look into the world of electric violins, but found most of the instruments to be very bland ‘solid blockular’ designs; with more desirable elegant violins coming with a matching elegant price tag.

With all of the necessary design skills, passion and craftsmanship abilities, a good opportunity for a self-lead design project was created… This was certainly one of my more rewarding projects and lead to the creation of a very elegant and sophisticated electric violin; with streamlined fluidic lines sculpted into the body.

The electric violin ultimately took about 2 months of spare time to build, and (as I already had most of the materials and tools) came in at a cost of around £92.

At a later time I will be doing some demonstration videos of the violin being played so that you will be able to hear the quality of sound that is produced by the violin.


PLEASE NOTE, the audio backing to this video is from the YouTube audio library and was not played by this violin.
