I work with an amazing violinist in the DC, Vladimer. He played violin in various European orchestras, on klezmer gigs and just about anyother thing he playing, solo weddings and such he's using the Yamaha Silent violin, It sounds great when he plays it. He said there is a learning curve. I run sound on most of those gigs we play and I think it sounds better than most real violins miked. Not the National sym on capital lawn, but under real world conditions, it kicks ass. There is a nice sounding small amp that uses a rechargeble battery it called the "taxie". That amp with a small reverb pedal seems to be standard issue for violinist in the DC area for real violins with pick up bridges or the Yamahas
Hope that helps
