About this listing

The SV250/255 is designed to meet the needs of the professional and high-level amateur performer that desires an amplified violin sound for all styles of music. This violin establishes a new frontier for sound quality and player comfort, with the same weight of a traditional acoustic violin. This allows any violinist to easily move between their acoustic instrument and their Silent Violin. The innovative dual pickup system allows the performer to transition from an edgy electric tone to a rich acoustic sound. The external control box contains a powerful pre-amp, master volume control, treble and bass tone controls, as well as quarter inch and XLR balanced outputs. Both models are crafted from seasoned flamed maple and spruce top, fit with a fingerboard and pegs of ebony.A new benchmark in professional performance for electric violinNew body design: hollow resonating chamberSpruce top/flamed Maple backDouble pickups: bridge pickup, body pickup & ‘blend’Control Box with input, output & XLR balance, phonesVolume, treble/bass, phones volume controlShaded brown finishTwo Pickup Types Add Up to Expressive FreedomYamaha’s acclaimed body pickup faithfully captures the rich resonance of the instrument’s entire body, as well as vibrato and other performance nuances.

The result is a deep resonance that is remarkably close to acoustic violins in quality, as well as a familiar, intimate playing feel. An exquisite shaded finish brings out the beauty of the natural wood grain.Acoustic Violin Weight and BalanceAt 500 and 540 grams, respectively, the 4-string SV250 and 5-string SV255 are about the same weight as many of their acoustic counterparts.
