Yamaha YSV104 Silent violin - Red-(EHH-YSV104RE)

The Yamaha YSV104 silent violin

Returning to the original violin concept, Yamaha have created a refined practice instrument that provides an ideal blend of features and playability. With a body stripped down to the essential form, the YSV104 still produces the resonance, sound and ambience of an acoustic violin with the help of the SRT Powered system.

This is an excellent choice of violin for all players who want to practice quietly with acoustic violin tone.

Featuring the SRT Powered system

Although the YSV104 is a solid-body instrument that does not resonate like an acoustic violin, the SRT (Studio Response Technology) Powered system faithfully reproduces the rich presence and tonal variety that are appealing characteristics of acoustic violin sound. Left and right channel volume, frequency response, and delay have been carefully optimized so that the performer can play while hearing realistic acoustic tone and resonance via the earphones.

The essential form of an acoustic

The layout of the bridge, tailpiece, neck, and other parts is the same as an acoustic violin, and the ability to use standard off-the-shelf Bridge-type shoulder rests facilitates a smooth, stress-free transition from acoustic violin to the SILENT Violin and back. Proper bow angle and finger placement give beginners a solid foundation to grow from.

Streamlined control box supports practice

Two reverb modes provide ambience optimized for practice and playing enjoyment. "ROOM" provides realistic room ambience that is ideally suited to practice, while "HALL" simulates the deep, rich reverb of a concert hall for pure playing enjoyment. An external audio source can be connected to the control box for play-along practice.

Please note this is supplied as instrument only, i.e. there is no case or bow included.
