Organic Beauty and Transcendent Playability

The Yamaha YEV-104 offers a sublime combination of organic beauty and transcendent playability. Five layers comprised of maple, mahogany, and spruce yield a gorgeous natural sound, while an oil-finished walnut frame enhances its looks, strength, and resonance. A high-output passive bridge pickup captures every ounce of the YEV-104’s natural tone, meticulously reproducing the instrument’s dynamic response and highlighting the subtle nuances of your bowing. The YEV-104’s three-dimensional infinity loop-like design not only offers eye-popping visuals, it also supplies a feel that’s guaranteed to appeal to traditional acoustic violinists. Want an electric violin that commands attention? Then get your hands on the Yamaha YEV-104 and see what it can do for you.

Unconventional — yet supremely elegant

You’ll love the way that the YEV-104 looks under stage lights — its unconventional, yet supremely elegant, design is hard to take your eyes off of. But don’t let that intimidate you — if you’re a traditional acoustic violinist, the YEV-104 will feel instantly familiar. It even accommodates standard shoulder and chin rests and tailpieces!

Built from top-quality woods

The Yamaha YEV-104 was built from top-quality woods. Its 5-layer body includes the perfect blend of maple, mahogany, and spruce, exhibiting excellent response and a natural overall sound. Its oil-finished walnut frame offers striking looks while enhancing the instrument’s natural musical resonance. At Sweetwater, we appreciate the look and sound of the YEV-104 — it’s a top-shelf instrument.

High-caliber electronics for a gorgeous, natural sound

Plug in the YEV-104, and you’ll be greeted with a gorgeous natural sound. Its high-output passive bridge pickup picks up the tone and resonance of the entire instrument while capturing its acoustic response and communicating your expressive bowing nuances. A selector switch allows you to toggle between the direct output of the YEV-104’s pickup signal or output via the instrument’s volume control. Direct output unlocks the YEV-104’s full sonic potential, exhibiting rich lows and a punchy impact.

Rated 5/5

WAY BETTER than expected!

Yamaha out-did itself on the YEV 104! The "acoustic" sound of the YEV 104 was surprising. I was expecting close to "silence"; but got a very much violin sound at a more than adequate volume for practice. The electric amplified sound is great: hiss-free, noise-free, and very loud. For something that is passively electronic, i.e. no battery; it has a really hi-gain output. Is it worth $? Most definitely.
Rated 5/5

Amazing Sound

Added this "silent"violin to our worship ensemble recently. Trust me, it's anything but silent. The rich mellow tones immediately elevated the performance and lifted the hearts of the hearers. The sleek styling gives a tip of the hat to the traditional bodice while evoking a sense of the NEW. The Sweetwater gang, as always made our selection and purchase process both pleasant and expedient. I am not sure if this instrument would be appropriate for a novice or beginner - after all, the violin/fiddle is not a forgiving instrument. However, in skilled hands, its a winner.
