Yamaha YEV-105, 5-String Electric Violin, Natural Finish, Yamaha Model YEV105 NT.
This instrument takes a design cue from both violin and acoustic guitar shapes, creating a beautiful yet amazingly lightweight instrument. Using a unique Yamaha bridge pickup that carries over from professional Yamaha Silent Violins, this instrument delivers a smooth, organic, and warm tone.
• The same shape as acoustic violins accepts standard shoulder/chin rests and tailpiece
• Carefully selected maple with mahogany and spruce in a 5-layer construction results in excellent response and natural overall sound
• A 5-layer oil-finished walnut frame offers an ideal blend of flexibility and strength in a design that is not only striking, but also contributes to natural musical resonance
• The same type of high-output passive bridge pickup that is a highly regarded feature of the SV250 is used
• Selects direct output of the pickup signal, or output via the instrument's volume control
