Yamaha has introduced four electric violin models, expanding the current Yamaha Silent/Electric Violin lineup. Available in four- or five-string models, the all-wood YEV series provides excellent sound and electric performance benefits, while maintaining its appeal to traditional performers. The design is based on established violin elements, with additional style cues from Yamaha acoustic guitar luthiers. All-wood construction adds a natural character that reflects the instrument’s heritage. The electric violins are nearly identical in weight to an acoustic violin, providing a comfortable transition for the acoustic player. Established players can use their existing shoulder rest and favorite bow. For details, visit 4wrd.it/YEV or the Marriott Marquis Ballroom.
