I think electric violins are better, because it outputs electronic sound. 
I have seen some videos of electronic violins, the designs of the instrument is amazing. Very beautiful.  
It is, and you can refer to it as and electric pickup or electro-acoustic violin. 
Do you play violin by any chance? 
No, I can't because it is the highest-pitched instrument. I can't even hear it due to my ear damage. 
Ah...I see. I only played it for a year back in elementary. 
I bet you were great, and since electric violins have been used since the 1920's you could have played one.
