ABSTRACT:
An electric acoustic violin is a combination of an acoustic violin and an electric system, and the electric system includes a pickup unit for converting the vibrations of the strings to an electric signal; and a hollow space is formed in the bridge for receiving the pickup unit so that the vibrations are transferred from the strings through the bridge to the pickup unit, whereby the pickup unit faithfully converts the vibrations to the electric signal without any influence of the tension exerted on the bridge by the strings.
