Is there a difference between silent or electric violins, or are they the same?

I haven't heard of a silent violin (kinda thinking to myself, what would be the point) an electric would be basically silent as it has no space for the vibration of the string to resonate, thats what the pick ups do. and i think its not so good if a fully electric violin does have a slightly resonating body as this effects the sound. so with out and amp an electric would affectively be silent, but i don't know if this is what you mean.

I don't know what a silent violin is, but I have an electric violin, without an amp its about as loud as a regular violin with a heavy practice mute on.

Could be?

I'm not sure because that is the only "silient" violins I've seen.

I don't really know about electric violins, but from what I've read Silents have headphones so you can practise 'silently'.. is that a feature on normal electrics?

Prolonged use of headphones can easily damage your hearing. It's a much idea better simply to find a place and time where you can practice a normal violin normally without disturbing others.

(In general there are electric violins meant especially for performance and electric violins meant especially for practice. Probably these "silent violins" belong to the latter group.)
