Yamaha makes an electric Violin. They also make a silent instrument series, where you can plug the instrument into headphones and even add spatial effects. Rather than recommend a single electric Violin, here is a link to a shop that sells both electric, acoustic electric, and even left handed (I know that this is heresy but the world does not run by the dictates of Classical Society anymore. There are now Violins being made for everyone and every taste and I choose to celebrate this fact) and five string instruments! (for those of you who were never quite sure whether you wanted to play Violin or Viola?)

I quote

"LEFT HANDED ELECTRIC VIOLINS
Ask about which models can be changed over for the left hand violin player."

There are hundreds of other sites of course and if you are just looking for a good price I would always encourage you to shop around. This is a great site for getting the information you want however, and since it is run by musicians, you may have a little less trouble getting the answers to the questions you have

Hope this helps.

is there even such thing
