Where do I find the best electric violin for my performances?

I have heard nice things about the 'fender fv-1' electric violin. nicely priced and good sounding. or for more money the Yamaha EV series are also good instruments. But whatever you do! DO NOT BUY the cheap ones offred on ebay. I was going to buy an electric violin for the fun of it. and a friend of mine that plays professionally gave me that advice. The cheap ones do not hold there tune very long. where the Fender and the Yamaha brands do!

No, but I did smash mine over my brother's head back in middle school. He was the biggest pain back then, and since he was older and bigger than me, I had to become a weapons fighter. LOL
Not a violin. I have personally smashed an accoustic guitar.
No, but I have seen the Smashing Pumpkins :)

Is the tuning the same on a violin as a mandolin?

Yes. The strings on a Violin are tuned thus: G-D-A-E, exactly the same pitch as on a Mandolin except the Mandolin has 8 Strings(2 strings each of the same pitch) instead of 4 as the Violin has.

Is the tuning the same on a violin as a mandolin?the grand theater

Yes. I believe it is the same. They are tuned a fifth apart. The lowest G below middle C.

I'm looking for ideas on a violin solo this year?

i'm an advanced player and i can do pretty much all positions/bowing styles. i want a piece that's really pretty and has some really fast parts. it doesnt necessarily have to be a fast piece, but i want one that has a couple of really fast parts.

also, i don't want a piece that just has one rhythm over and over again, or a piece that's like an etude.

any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks!

your description is so vague I wouldn't know whether to recommend a Seitz concerto or Lalo Symphonie Espagnole or a Mozart Concerto

If I answered "ZZZZZZZZZZZ" would you report me? But this one isn't so common. Try one of the simpler Paganini pieces. ;)
You need to obtain a graded list of violin solos. I bet that ASTA (American String Teachers Association) among others, has one. This will help you find where you ARE, and then comparable pieces in terms of difficulty. I am a flute teacher, and have several different lists of flute literature -and then, I databased them ALL, and cross-referenced them - ther is always ONE list that has a piece graded in the *wrong* level - what were they thinking?

Your best resources is your teacher. Beyond that, check professional resources. And on Yahoo Groups, there is a wonderful flutenet list - betcha there is a good violin list for you to join, too. Go for the one with the most members and most traffic.

I saw "The Orphanage" last week and if I remember correctly, the music in the trailer is part of the instrumental score for the film.
