Yamaha YEV105BL – 5 string Electric Violin – Black

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 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.YEV-105 Size/Weight Width: 204mm Height: 607mm Depth: 120mm Weight: approx. 590g Body Size: 4/4 Body: Spruce/Mahogany/Maple Side:Frame Walnut Neck: Maple Finger Board: Composite Parts Bridge :Maple with built-in Piezo-electric Pickup Tuning Pegs: Ebony Tailpiece :Synthetic Resin (equipped with fine tuners) Chin Rest: Composite Strings: D’Addario Zyex (D’Addario Helicore on C-string) Design:Architecture Detail Pick Up System: Bridge w/ Built-in Piezo-electric Pickup Functions Controls Volume: Control, Selector Switch (Volume Control activation switch) Passive Output (Φ6.3 Standard Monaural)
