McNeela Electric Violin
The McNeela Electric Violin is ideal for any level of player and will serve you well as either a performance instrument or a practice aid.

Hear It In Action:
Plug your headphones directly into the pickup for a private practice session that no one else will hear, or use the lineout jack to connect to a speaker and crank up the volume and rock out to your heart's content.

The contemporary cutout body comes with an attractive high gloss finish so it looks as good as it sounds. Choose from two eye catching designs in black or white.

Plug In & Play
With the McNeela Electric Violin volume is never an issue – in either direction! You can amplify your electric violin by simply plugging into a speaker. Alternatively, if you really want to learn to play the violin, but you’re worried about noise complaints, you can buy an electric violin and use headphones to practice silently. Your neighbours will thank you!
Electric violins are much quieter than a muted acoustic violin, producing little to no sound. Many acoustic players with no intention of ever performing on an electric violin will still invest one as a useful practice aid. Being able to practice fingering, difficult musical passages or bowing without waking sleeping babies or neighbours is an invaluable advantage. 
Playing Made Easy
Did you know that it’s easier to produce a good sound on an electric violin? They typically require less heavy bowing as the strings react in a different way to those on an acoustic violin. You can also tweak the sounds on an electric violin using EQ dials. 
It’s important to remember however that if you intend to keep up your acoustic playing, you should practice on both instruments to maintain good technique. Your bowing technique can suffer if you don’t return to your acoustic instrument occasionally to practice.
Electrifying Audio
If you want to experiment with new exciting sounds, explore new genres and have fun with loop pedals and different effects, then the electric violin is definitely the right choice for you. Electric violins offer huge scope for experimentation, offering a range of creative features. You can use them with loop pedals and other special effects, dousing them in reverb or turning up the distortion to really rock out. They're perfect for any dance, electronica, pop or rock enthusiasts out there - though of course you can still use them to play Traditional Irish folk or Classical music.

McNeela Instruments a Hidden Irish Gem We purchased a black electric violin and accessories for our daughter as a birthday gift. McNeal Instruments was quick to process and shipping was speedier than I expected. Although to be honest I only live down the road, around the corner and then 3811 miles away, give or take a mile or two. That’s like 10000 kilometers I think. Opening the package unveiled a stylish, futuristic looking gloss black instrument that is impressive enough to display as art as well as sounding excellent when played through our Vox tube amp as well as our acoustic amp. Hearing Stairway to Heaven straight out the case was beautiful. I’m not a violin player but my daughter who is thinks it is excellent from tuners to chin rest loves it. The price point was far better than I thought and I am so glad I didn’t have to use Amazon. I am 98% Irish and two percent Sub-Sahara African and I have immense pride in my Irish roots and was very pleased to have found McNeela Instruments.

I bought this electric violin in order to practise quietly. I had already purchased a Maestro violin with which I am delighted but it is quite loud. As I am a beginner on the violin and need a lot of practice hence the electric one. One of the little fine tuning screws was misaligned and went down the side of the little tensioning lever below. McNeela have said that they will refund the cost and advise me on another electric violin once I return it. Which is great. I am unwell at the moment so it may be delayed a bit. Roy Sigerson

Purchased this violin for our 11 year old son. He really wanted the $1500 USD Yamaha silent violin. Yeah right! He’s 11. Thankfully we found this violin and it is fantastic. It sounds great and my son enjoys playing with the headphones. We did order a pickup adapter off amazon that fits the headphone jack and allows him to plug into an amp. The upgraded model of this violin has that pickup, but it was sold out. Thanks for providing a quality instrument at an affordable price!
