An electric violin has strings stretched over an instrument body, and the strings are anchored to a tailpiece, which in turn is connected to a tail wire to the instrument body; a saddle plate is bolted to the instrument body, and the tail wire is connected to the saddle plate by means of bolts; and the electric violin further has a blindfold extending from a chinrest, and the blindfold prevents the tail wire, saddle plate and bolts from eyes of users so that the electric violin does not give the antique impression of acoustic violin to the users without sacrifice of durability of the connection between the tail wire and the instrument body.
