Yamaha 5 string Electric Violin in a Black Wood Finish
Inspired
by craft and design elements of Yamaha acoustic guitars, Yamaha
set out to design a new kind of electric violin made primarily from
wooden materials. This totally changes the game in the electric violin
world! This instrument takes a design cue from both violin
and acoustic guitar shapes, creating a beautiful yet amazingly
lightweight instrument made with six different woods. These wood
materials are carefully crafted with an airy infinity loop-like design,
representing the dimensions of acoustic space, and is as stunning
visually as it is fun to play. Using a unique Yamaha bridge pickup that
carries over from professional Yamaha Silent Violins, this instrument
delivers a smooth, organic and warm tone. The design incorporates a
simple ¼” input to match the clean and natural aesthetic of this
innovative electric violin. Priced affordable, you will be shocked at
this amazing instrument. Get yours today, at Alto Music!

Question: Both Yamaha Silent Violin and Electric Violin are considered "electric" – what's the difference?
Answer: With
a Silent Violin you have two functions: practice with headphones, or
you can plug it in and play out through your amp. A Yamaha Electric
(YEV) Series violin has one main function – plug in and play amplified.
In short, Silent Violin (SV) = headphone option; Electric Violin (YEV) =
plug into an amp.
