Yamaha YEV104PRO 4 string Professional Electric Violin - Deep Red

Nearly a decade after the launch of the acclaimed YEV104/105 electric violin, the new Yamaha YEV104/105PRO Electric Violin delivers playability which is imperceptibly close to an acoustic violin, while expanding performance opportunities like never before.

Features

Appearance worthy of the high-end model

Based on the YEV104/YEV105 design, upgraded to specifications and appearance appropriate for high-end models. The fingerboard is also colored to look good on stage.

Luxurious Design Deserving of the High-End Model

An electroforming tuning fork sticker is used. This glossy sticker gives a luxurious touch deserving of the high-end model.

Unified color of chin rest fittings

For the YEV104/YEV105, the color of the chin rest fittings is silver. For the YEV104PRO/YEV105PRO, however, the color was changed to black to be consistent with the other chin rest parts. Care has been taken down to smallest details to ensure a sense of unity.

Body Structure closer to acoustic violin

Similar to an acoustic violin, the body is made of spruce on the top board and maple on the back board. It also has slits on the side and a hollow inside like an acoustic violin. This structure delivers a richer, more acoustic sound as well as a quicker response.

Improved bridge specifications

The maple bridge is acoustically treated with Yamaha's Acoustic Resonance Enhancement or A.R.E for improved sound quality and response. The YEV104/105PRO also replaces the standard bridge shield cover with a thinner copper foil on the tailpiece side only, allowing the bridge to move more freely, capturing delicate bowing nuances for enhanced sound quality.

Pegs with excellent playability

The YEV104PRO/YEV105PRO features highly acclaimed Wittner Finetune Pegs, which are also in high demand for stage use. The internal gears allow precise and quick tuning even on stage.

Lighter weight

The model YEV104PRO weighs about 510 grams, which is the same as an acoustic violin. This is about 50 grams lighter than the YEV104, which makes players feel as if they are playing an acoustic violin.

YEV104PRO/YEV105PRO specific circuit

The circuit was designed for the YEV104PRO/YEV105PRO to match the instrument and its pickup characteristics. This allows the YEV104PRO/YEV105PRO to produce a strong bass sound regardless of the connection to an external device, such as G10, or the ON/OFF of the volume control.
