An Electric Violin That Traditional Players Will Love
Who says that acoustic violinists need to sacrifice performance to go electric? Certainly not Yamaha. Case in point: the YEV105 Pro. For starters, this 5-string electric violin’s hollow body structure yields a powerful resonance and responsive playability on par with its acoustic ancestors. Furthermore, the YEV105 Pro’s Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.)–treated maple bridge exhibits sonic characteristics akin to aged wood, captured beautifully by the instrument’s built-in piezo pickup. Traditional players will appreciate the YEV105 Pro’s stylish multilayered design, which gives it a weight comparable to an acoustic 5-string violin and ensures an attention-grabbing presence onstage. Finally, you get Wittner Finetune pegs with internal gears, providing you with lightning-fast, ultra-precise tuning — even in the midst of a performance. Complete with an eye-catching electroformed scroll logo, the Yamaha YEV105 Pro supplies acoustic violinists with a familiar playing experience using a completely electric platform.

Mirrors the acoustic playing experience
Although its modern styling might suggest otherwise, the YEV105 Pro is an electric violin designed with traditional players in mind. Its hollow body structure offers a surprisingly resonant sound and a response that mirrors that of an acoustic instrument. To top it off, the YEV105 Pro offers a weight comparable to an acoustic 5-string violin. String aficionados here at Sweetwater can’t get enough of the YEV105 Pro; close your eyes, and you’ll swear you’re playing a traditional acoustic violin.
A.R.E.-treated maple bridge
The Yamaha YEV105 Pro’s A.R.E.-treated maple bridge enables it to replicate the behavior and sonic attributes of aged wood. Developed by Yamaha in the late 1990s, this proprietary reforming technology leverages precisely controlled temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure to manipulate the wood’s molecular properties. The A.R.E. process faithfully replicates the molecular characteristics of instrument tonewoods that have been played for years, decades, or even centuries.
Loaded with high-end features
Yamaha pulled out all the stops in the YEV105 Pro’s design. When you connect this electric violin to an amplifier, PA system, or recording setup, the beautifully resonant characteristics of its multilayer body are faithfully captured by a built-in piezo pickup, which is bolstered by a copper foil half-shield cover and a redesigned pro-level circuit. The YEV105 Pro also includes Wittner Finetune pegs with internal gears, providing you with quick, precision tuning, even onstage. With the YEV105 Pro, traditional players won’t have to make any sacrifices when they plug in.
