I was kidding. But that is an interesting idea...

Don't have an electric violin. Actually some of them sound really bad. They lack the character of acoustics. In fact, some of the most popular electric violin makers' goals are to capture the sound of an acoustic for the playing needs of an electric violin buyer.

Sorry. Way off topic.

EDIT for Lordathestrings: When you brought up one's mouth being close to the sound source it made me think of the time when I heard about this person who drooled while playing violin. Disgusting. And if you have a headache you might as well put a violin down - the vibrations going through your jaw really make anything that's already there much worse.
