Does anyone's kid here play electric violin? I'd especially love to hear from parents with kids in a Suzuki program. My six year old started an acoustic violin two years ago, and for a six year old, he's pretty serious about it. He keeps talking about wanting to play electric violin (like his idol, Lindsey Stirling). His teacher, who we both really like, isn't really a huge fan of that type of music. If you or your kid have played both, are they fairly comparable in terms of technique? How easy is it to switch between the two? Are electric violins good for beginning violinists? (He's still wrapping up Book 1.) Do they make quality,tiny electric violins? (He just moved up to a 1/8th size.) Is there any way I can rent one?
