Full Expression and Lifelike Acoustic Tone
The Yamaha SV-200 Silent series violin packs the resonant sound of an acoustic violin into a great-sounding solidbody instrument.

Dial in your upper harmonics with the SV-200’s EQ control to tailor it to your playing style, room acoustics, and amplification equipment. Enjoy silent practice. Benefit from feedback-free performance. The SV-200 is the perfect instrument for violinists who demand full expression and lifelike acoustic tone.
Dial in your tone with a built-in EQ control
Our favorite feature of the SV-200 Silent Violin here at Sweetwater is its EQ control. This flexible circuit isolates and controls the instrument’s upper harmonics. It supplies you with loads of sonic versatility, allowing you to tweak the sound of the Silent Violin to match your individual playing style, as well as your room acoustics and amplification equipment. Thanks to the SV-200’s EQ, you can closely mirror the tone of an acoustic violin.
Comfortable body ensures a natural feel
When you play the SV-200, one thing becomes immediately apparent: It feels amazing! Its oval-shaped neck boasts a thin formulated finish and feels very much like an acoustic violin. The instrument’s frame extends past its chin rest to accommodate most standard chin and shoulder rests — something that acoustic violinists will appreciate. Beyond that, SV-200’s line-out jack is positioned so the cord can be draped over your shoulder, ensuring that it stays out of your way.
Great live acoustic sound with no feedback
Another benefit of the SV-200 Silent Series Violin is what it brings to your live performances. A Volume knob, EQ Mode switch, and EQ Control supply absolute command over your sound, while active electronics offer plug-and-play operation — no external preamp required. And without an acoustic body resonating from loud stage volume, feedback is a nonissue. You can play anywhere onstage with full confidence that your audience is hearing exactly what you hear.
