The silent violin was created to provide the same feeling as a traditional vi-
olin when played, but with the smallest possible volume. The fingerboard,
neck, strings, bridge and other parts are identical, and the overall size is the
same. Violin bows can be used to play the instrument as well. In other words,
the parts that are touched by the hands are exactly the same as those on an
acoustic violin.
People who want to start playing the violin but hesitate to buy an acoustic in-
strument should consider the silent violin. Compared to an acoustic violin, the
silent violin produces a sound with less effort, and it can be practiced even
at night without bothering others. Once you become accustomed to the silent
violin, you can still consider buying an acoustic violin. Families who already
own an acoustic violin can use a silent violin for practicing.
