Disclosed is an acoustic and electric combined stringed instrument of a violin group. The stringed instrument includes a soundboard including upper and lower panels arranged with an interval therebetween and a side panel surrounding the rims of the upper and lower panels, a neck part extending from the soundboard and provided at a distal end thereof with a head, one or more strings secured between the head and the soundboard, and a piezoelectric element to convert vibration and pressure of the strings into electric signals. The piezoelectric element is embedded in the lower panel and secured by a pressure plate, and a sound post is erected on the pressure plate above the piezoelectric element to transmit pressure and vibration from the strings to the pressure plate through a bridge and the upper panel, which enables generation of acoustic sound from the lower panel and amplified sound from the piezoelectric element. |
