The violin past
The violin was first known in the 16th century. There are no early violins that exist today. The way we learned about violins was from paintings. The violin became famous over Europe in the 1600s. Two earliest violin makers are from Italy Andre Amati from Cremona and Gasprom di Bertoletti from salon.
This is a picture of the first type of violin.
This is a recent violin that common in most orchestras the sound quality is much stronger than the first made violin. A acoustic violin has a quieter pitch and usually have a slower tempo.
My opinion
I think I like the classic sweet sounds of the acoustic Violin better than the sharp bright sounds of the electric violin. I enjoy playing the classic version and listening/watching the classical version.

Jade, this blog is so interesting to me because my grandfather played the violin and he was self taught! He played in our local village fiddle band and was good at what he did. Even though the violin was never fully recognized he always made sure to play his heart out! You did some great research on the evolution of the violin!
